Abstract
Behavioral manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) are often more debilitating than the motor manifestations. These occur both as primary manifestations of the disease and as drug-induced complications. While dementia and abulia are common problems that are not currently treatable, depression and psychosis often respond extremely well to medication. Phenomenology, pathology, and general approaches to treatment will be discussed.
