Optimal treatment of depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease

Mr. P is a 72 year old married male with a seven year history of PD. He had no history of anxiety, major depression, or psychotic illness prior to PD. For the first six years he was treated with a combination of the dopamine agonist pramipexole and one tablet of carbidopa-levodopa three times per day. However, he developed an impulse control disorder (hypersexuality) and visual hallucinations last year and pramipexole was tapered off. He is currently treated with carbidopa-levodopa 25/100mg two tablets four times per day.
