What is Parkinson’s disease psychosis?
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition. This means that patients with Parkinson’s disease, have their brain change over time causing problems like losing control of how their body moves. They may also experience other symptoms such as visual hallucinations (seeing things that aren’t actually there), delusions (such as paranoia), or illusions (thinking something is real when it is not). These symptoms are often referred to as ‘Parkinson’s disease psychosis’, which is common in people with Parkinson’s disease.
