Depression and Parkinson's Disease Care in Huntington Beach


The topic of depression is coming up more and more frequently in the news as celebrities and others are speaking out about their personal struggles with the illness. While many claim that they are "feeling depressed" when they are feeling sad and lonely, clinical depression is not a subject to speak lightly about. Depression is a common mental disorder that globally affects more than 350 million people of all ages. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, insomnia, irritability, and thoughts of suicide. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of depression (more can be found on WebMD), it is advised to speak with a mental health professional and seek treatment.

Recent studies show that there is a link between depression and Parkinson's Disease. In a recent article in the New York Times, Swedish researchers found in their case study that those suffering from depression are at an increased risk for Parkinson's disease. The more severe the depression, the higher the patient is at risk. Dr. Nordstrom, the lead author of the study, said that the damage to the brain from depression could be causing the increase in Parkinson's Disease. Or, perhaps that in the early stages of Parkinson's, patients are more prone to depression.
