Neurocognitive disorder due to Parkinson's disease

Neurocognitive Disorder due to Parkinson's Disease" (NCDPD). This is a disorder that affects some people with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative condition. In this session, we will explore in detail TNCEP, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and how it affects the lives of those who suffer from it.

Relationship Between Parkinson's and Neurocognitive Disorder

Common Comorbidity: Parkinson's disease and TNCEP often coexist, meaning that people with Parkinson's are at increased risk for developing cognitive problems.

Differential Affect: Parkinson's disease primarily affects motor control, while TNCEP affects cognitive function.

III. Symptoms of Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Parkinson's Disease

Cognitive Impairment: Cognitive symptoms may include memory problems, difficulty concentrating, loss of abstract thinking skills, and difficulties in problem solving.

Behavioral Changes: May manifest as personality changes, apathy, social disinhibition or impulsivity.

Hallucinations: Some patients may experience visual hallucinations.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Clinical Evaluation: A proper diagnosis begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation that includes patient and caregiver interviews, cognitive testing and laboratory testing.

Neuroimaging: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) can help rule out other causes of symptoms.

Treatment and Management

Multidisciplinary Approach: Treatment of TNCEP usually requires the collaboration of neurologists, psychiatrists, occupational and speech therapists, and social workers.
