Ages at Onset of Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease.
CONCLUSIONS: These results may indicate that neurodegenerative changes are present in parts of the brainstem reticular core and limbic system before motor circuits are affected to a degree that causes motor symptoms. Psychiatrists should be mindful that onset of MDD, GAD, and panic disorder after age 45 might signal a neurodegenerative movement disorder such as PD.
