[Abstract] Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, PD patients were mainly with the onset of motor disorders, but the incidence of non motor symptoms is also very high, the incidence of depression was the highest among the non motor symptoms. The symptoms of depression have a serious impact on the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease, and it is also an important factor to increase the motor impairment, cognitive impairment, accelerate the development of the disease and the effect of the treatment, but the mechanism is not clear. At present, functional imaging studies suggest that the pathogenesis of PD with depression may be related to the pathogenesis of dopamine neurons, 5-serotonin neurons and prefrontal-limbic system. |
