The Prevalence of Depression Among Parkinson’s Disease Patients in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
The study reveals a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among Parkinson's disease patients, linked to physical impairments and social isolation. Many patients report no mental health improvement despite treatment, highlighting the need for routine mental health assessments, social support, and tailored interventions to enhance their quality of life. The small sample size may limit the statistical power, precision, and generalizability of the study's findings.
