Abstract
BACKGROUND Although selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are usually considered safe to use in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), there are mixed data about their effectiveness, and only a few investigations have led to a total improvement of depressive symptoms in patients with PD. OBJECTIVES We aimed to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of all studies that investigated the effectiveness of SSRIs in treating depression in the context of PD. METHODS From its commencement to June 2024, the databases of MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar were electronically searched for the relevant papers. All full-text journal articles assessing the effectiveness of SSRIs in treating depression in patients with PD were included. The tool developed by the Cochrane Collaboration was utilized to evaluate the bias risk. Data were analyzed utilizing a pair-wise comparison meta-analysis using the standardized mean difference. RESULTS A total of 19 articles and 22 separate interventions were included. We found that SSRI treatment attenuated depression in patients with PD (1.242 standardized mean difference, 95% confidence interval 0.956, 1.529, p < 0.001). The general heterogeneity of the studies was medium (ϰ2 = 72.818, T2 = 0.317, df = 21, I2 = 71.15%, p < 0.001). The funnel plot was reasonably symmetrical. However, three studies were trimmed to the left of the mean. Begg's test (p = 0.080), Egger's test (p = 0.121), and funnel plot showed no significant risk of publication bias. The meta-regression showed that the treatment effect increased as a function of paroxetine treatment duration (slope p = 0.001) but decreased as a function of sertraline treatment duration (slope p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS There are few controlled antidepressant trials on the PD population, even though patients with PD frequently experience depression and use antidepressants. Clinical studies that are larger and better structured are needed in the future to determine if antidepressants are useful for treating patients with PD with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive and executive deficits lead to worsening of quality of life and are a risk factor for developing dementia in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) with psychosis (PDP). However, which key cognitive domains are differentially affected in PDP compared with those without (PDnP), remains unclear. Here, we examined this using a Bayesian meta-analytical approach. METHODS Searches were conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Medline and PsycINFO. Hedges' g effect-size estimates were extracted from eligible studies as a measure of standard mean differences between PDP and PDnP participants. Meta-analyses were conducted separately for each cognitive domain and subdomain, we examined the effect of age, PD medications, PD duration and severity, depression and psychosis severity for all major domains with meta-regressions. RESULTS Effect-size estimates suggest worse performance on all major domains (k=105 studies) in PDP compared with PDnP participants, with global cognition (k=103 studies, g=-0.57), processing speed (k=29 studies, g=-0.58), executive functions (k=33, g=-0.56), episodic memory (k=30 studies, g=-0.58) and perception (k=34 studies, g=-0.55) as the most likely affected domains. Age, depression and PD duration had moderating effects on task-related performance across most of the major nine domains. CONCLUSIONS We report extensive deficits across nine domains as well as subdomains in PD psychosis, with global cognition, processing speed and executive functions as the most likely impaired. The presence of depression may influence task-related performance in PDP, alongside age and PD duration, but not dose of dopamine replacement treatments.

Abstract
Populations with common physical diseases - such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders - experience substantially higher rates of major depressive disorder (MDD) than the general population. On the other hand, people living with MDD have a greater risk for many physical diseases. This high level of comorbidity is associated with worse outcomes, reduced adherence to treatment, increased mortality, and greater health care utilization and costs. Comorbidity can also result in a range of clinical challenges, such as a more complicated therapeutic alliance, issues pertaining to adaptive health behaviors, drug-drug interactions and adverse events induced by medications used for physical and mental disorders. Potential explanations for the high prevalence of the above comorbidity involve shared genetic and biological pathways. These latter include inflammation, the gut microbiome, mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation, and brain structure and function. Furthermore, MDD and physical diseases have in common several antecedents related to social factors (e.g., socioeconomic status), lifestyle variables (e.g., physical activity, diet, sleep), and stressful live events (e.g., childhood trauma). Pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies are effective treatments for comorbid MDD, and the introduction of lifestyle interventions as well as collaborative care models and digital technologies provide promising strategies for improving management. This paper aims to provide a detailed overview of the epidemiology of the comorbidity of MDD and specific physical diseases, including prevalence and bidirectional risk; of shared biological pathways potentially implicated in the pathogenesis of MDD and common physical diseases; of socio-environmental factors that serve as both shared risk and protective factors; and of management of MDD and physical diseases, including prevention and treatment. We conclude with future directions and emerging research related to optimal care of people with comorbid MDD and physical diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a prodromic and a frequent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease, associated to reduced quality of life and poor outcomes. The diagnosis of depression in parkinsonian patients represents a challenge due to the overlapping of symptoms typical of the two conditions. METHODS A Delphi panel survey was performed to reach a consensus amongst different Italian specialists on four main topics: the neuropathological correlates of depression, main clinical aspects, diagnosis, and management of depression in Parkinson's disease. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Experts have recognized that depression is an established risk factor of PD and that its anatomic substrate is related to the neuropathological abnormalities typical of the disease. Multimodal and SSRI antidepressant have been confirmed as a valid therapeutic option in the treatment of depression in PD. Tolerability, safety profile, and potential efficacy on broad spectrum of symptoms of depression including cognitive symptoms and anhedonia should be considered when selecting an antidepressant and the choice should be tailored on the patients' characteristics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Behavioural symptoms are common manifestations of Parkinson's disease and include depression, anxiety, impulse control disorders, hallucinations, psychosis, and cognitive dysfunction. They remain inadequately addressed in many patients despite their relevance for quality of life and disability. This applies also to impulse control disorders where the most common approach in recent literature is to refrain from using dopamine agonists without consideration about their potential benefit on motor complications. AREAS COVERED We conducted a narrative review searching for articles on behavioral symptoms in Parkinson disease and selected those which included involved neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, acetylcholine. We specifically focused our search on open-label and randomized double-blind studies and biomarkers which could best characterize these clinical manifestations. EXPERT OPINION Management of Parkinson disease behavioural manifestations lacks clear guidelines and standardized protocols beside general suggestions of dose adjustments in dopamine replacement therapy and use of antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs with little consideration of patients' age, sex, comorbidities, and motor status. We suggest a pragmatic approach which includes education of affected patients and caring people, dealing with complex cases by experienced multidisciplinary teams, use of cognitive behavioural therapy, and psychological counselling to complement drug treatment.

Abstract
Depression represents one of the most common non-motor disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) and it has been related to worse life quality, higher levels of disability, and cognitive impairment, thereby majorly affecting not only the patients but also their caregivers. Available pharmacological therapeutic options for depression in PD mainly include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants; meanwhile, agents acting on dopaminergic pathways used for motor symptoms, such as levodopa, dopaminergic agonists, and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors, may also provide beneficial antidepressant effects. Recently, there is a growing interest in non-pharmacological interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy; physical exercise, including dance and mind-body exercises, such as yoga, tai chi, and qigong; acupuncture; therapeutic massage; music therapy; active therapy; repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS); and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for refractory cases. However, the optimal treatment approach for PD depression is uncertain, its management may be challenging, and definite guidelines are also lacking. It is still unclear which of these interventions is the most appropriate and for which PD stage under which circumstances. Herein, we aim to provide an updated comprehensive review of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for depression in PD, focusing on recent clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Finally, we discuss the pharmacological agents that are currently under investigation at a clinical level, as well as future approaches based on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset of depression in PD.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in most neurological disorders and can have a major impact on the patient's disability and quality of life. However, mostly due to the heterogeneity of symptoms and the complexity of the underlying comorbidities, depression can be difficult to diagnose, resulting in limited recognition and in undertreatment. The early detection and treatment of depression simultaneously with the neurological disorder is key to avoiding deterioration and further disability. Although the neurologist should be able to identify and treat depression initially, a neuropsychiatry team should be available for severe cases and those who are unresponsive to treatment. Neurologists should be also aware that in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, different depression symptoms could develop at different stages of the disease. The treatment options for depression in neurological diseases include drugs, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and somatic interventions, among others, but often, the evidence-based efficacy is limited and the results are highly variable. Here, we review recent research on the diagnosis and treatment of depression in the context of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and strokes, with the aim of identifying common approaches and solutions for its initial management by the neurologist.

Abstract
Depression is a common, potentially debilitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease which may manifest at any time and can respond to treatment. Although depression is a known primary mediator of health-related quality of life, it is currently unknown whether the timing of depression diagnosis relative to PD diagnosis affects receipt of depression treatment. Electronic health record data were examined to explore differences in depression treatment among patients diagnosed with depression before or after PD diagnosis. Compared to PD patients diagnosed with depression prior to PD, those diagnosed with depression following PD are less likely to receive any treatment, either pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic, indicating a temporal association between the time of PD diagnosis and receipt of depression treatment. This highlights a potentially substantial treatment gap, despite the existence of efficacious treatment. Diagnosis with PD appears to alter depression treatment and further research is warranted to determine potential causes and effective interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with Parkinson's disease (PD) are more likely to be hospitalized and initiate antidepressant use compared to people without PD. It is not known if hospitalization increases the risk of antidepressant initiation. We studied whether a recent hospitalization associates with antidepressant initiation in people with PD. METHODS A nested case-control study within the nationwide register-based FINPARK cohort which includes community-dwelling Finnish residents diagnosed with PD between years 1996 and 2015 (N = 22,189) was conducted. Initiation of antidepressant use after PD diagnosis was identified from Prescription Register with 1-year washout period (cases). One matched non-initiator control for each case was identified (N = 5492 age, sex, and time since PD diagnosis-matched case-control pairs). Hospitalizations within the 14 day-period preceding the antidepressant initiation were identified from the Care Register for Health Care. RESULTS The mean age at antidepressant initiation was 73.5 years with median time since PD diagnosis 2.9 years. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (48.1%) and mirtazapine (35.7%) were the most commonly initiated antidepressants. Recent hospitalization was more common among antidepressant initiators than non-initiators (48.3 and 14.3%, respectively) and was associated with antidepressant initiation also after adjusting for comorbidities and use of medications during the washout (adjusted OR, 95% CI 5.85, 5.20-6.59). The initiators also had longer hospitalizations than non-initiators. PD was the most common main discharge diagnosis among both initiators (54.6%) and non-initiators (28.8%). Discharge diagnoses of mental and behavioral disorders and dementia were more common among initiators. CONCLUSIONS Hospitalisation is an opportunity to identify and assess depressive symptoms, sleep disorders and pain, which may partially explain the association. Alternatively, the indication for antidepressant initiation may have led to hospitalisation, or hospitalisation to aggravation of, e.g., neuropsychiatric symptoms leading to antidepressant initiation.

Abstract
Senile depression (SD) is a heterogeneous syndrome. Several clinical profiles are more likely to appear in SD than in early-life depression, but it remains unclear whether the pathophysiology is different. The prevalence of dementia increases with aging, and the underlying pathophysiological processes in the preclinical phase begin even before cognitive deficits or neurological signs appear. SD may be either a risk factor for developing dementia or a prodromal stage of dementia. The inconsistent findings regarding the association between SD and incident dementia may be attributable to the neuropathological heterogeneity underlying SD. Most studies have focused on patients with the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) as an outcome, but several clinicopathological studies suggest that primary age-related tauopathy and argyrophilic grain disease may account for a proportion of cases clinically misdiagnosed as AD in the elderly population. Furthermore, most AD cases have additional neuropathologic changes such as cerebrovascular disease and Lewy body disease. Here, we review the neuropathological findings linking SD to incident dementia, focusing on common age-related neuropathologies. In particular, the roles of disturbance of neural circuity, imbalance of monoaminergic systems, dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and elevated neuroinflammatory status are discussed. Finally, we review the current treatment of SD in the context of age-related neuropathological changes.

Abstract
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) such as affective disorders, psychosis, behavioral changes, and cognitive impairment are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, NPSs remain under-recognized and under-treated, often leading to adverse outcomes. Their epidemiology, presentation, risk factors, neural substrate, and management strategies are incompletely understood. While psychological and psychosocial factors may contribute, hallmark PD neuropathophysiological changes, plus the associations between exposure to dopaminergic medications and occurrence of some symptoms, suggest a neurobiological basis for many NPSs. A range of psychotropic medications, psychotherapeutic techniques, stimulation therapies, and other non-pharmacological treatments have been studied, are used clinically, and are beneficial for managing NPSs in PD. Appropriate management of NPSs is critical for comprehensive PD care, from recognizing their presentations and timing throughout the disease course, to the incorporation of different therapeutic strategies (ie, pharmacological and non-pharmacological) that utilize a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
Depressive symptom is the prevailing non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Drug treatments for depressed PD (dPD) can mitigate the symptoms of patients. However, the results are discordant and need further analysis. This systematic review with network meta-analysis aims to evaluate the drug treatments for dPD. We included double-blind, randomized controlled trials to compare antidepressants with placebo or other antidepressants in dPD. We performed traditional pairwise analysis and network meta-analysis concerning the efficacy, acceptability, depression score, and adverse effect. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve was to assess the ranking probabilities of the enrolled agents. We enrolled 62 studies, including 12,353 subjects, to analyze these estimates. For the traditional pairwise meta-analysis, dopamine agonist (DOP; OR = 2.20 [95% CI, 1.46 to 3.33]) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI; OR = 2.30 [95% CI, 1.15 to 4.60]) were observed to improve the efficacy compared with placebo. For network meta-analysis, DOP was observed to improve the efficacy compared with placebo (OR = -0.84 [95% CI, -1.20 to -0.48]). Both direct and indirect evidence showed that several treatments, e.g., DOP, monoamine-oxidase inhibitor, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, SSRI, and tricyclic antidepressants, significantly improved depressive symptoms. DOP and SSRI had good efficacy and improved symptoms considerably in dPD, but the adverse effect of these agents was needed to follow closely.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bupropion, an antidepressant inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine and noradrenaline, should be useful to treat depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Limited and conflicting literature data questioned its effectiveness and safety in depressed PD patients and extended its use to other neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with this disorder. DESIGN The databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Sciences, Cochrane Library, and the grey literature were searched. Following a scoping review methodology, articles focusing on Bupropion uses in PD patients who manifested depressive or other neuropsychiatric alterations were reviewed. RESULTS Twenty-three articles were selected, including 7 original articles, 3 systematic reviews or meta-analyses, 11 case reports, 1 clinical guideline, and 1 expert opinion. Bupropion showed considerable effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms, particularly in relation to apathy. Solitary findings showed a restorative effect on compulsive behaviour secondary to treatment with dopamine as well as on anxiety symptoms. The effect on motor symptoms remains controversial. The safety profile of this medication seems positive, but additional precautions should be used in subjects with psychotic symptoms. CONCLUSION The available literature lacks good evidence to support the use of Bupropion in PD patients presenting depressive symptoms. Further investigations are needed to extend and confirm reported findings and to produce accurate clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Movement abnormalities, by definition, and cognitive changes, to varying extents, affect every patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) and are attributed to the underlying neurodegenerative disease. Various psychiatric disorders occur in most patients at some point over the course of PD, including in the prodromal phase. Even though psychiatric disturbances tend to aggravate motor and cognitive deficits, they are under-recognized and under-treated, and the role of the underlying neurological disease is often minimized. To provide an integrated approach to understanding neuropsychiatric aspects of PD, this chapter reviews how cognitive changes in PD relate to the common psychiatric disturbances in PD along with the prevalence, phenomenology, pathophysiology, and treatment of each.

Abstract
Depression in Parkinson's Disorder (DPD) has been estimated to appear in up to 40% of people with PD and negatively impacts quality of life, motor and cognitive deficits and functional disability. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of DPD is unclear, DPD may be related to dysfunction in subcortical nuclei and the prefrontal cortex, striatal-thalamic-prefrontal and basotemporal limbic circuits, brainstem monoamine, and indolamine (i.e. dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) systems. DPD is characterized by sadness, loss of interest, increased exhaustibility, feelings of helplessness, reduced drive, dysphoria, irritability, and pessimism about future. The diagnosis is complicated by overlap with PD symptoms, Detection of depression in PD should be made by psychometric depression scales. DPD is underrecognized and undertreated in clinical practice. Treatment mainly includes antidepressive medications and behavioral interventions as psychotherapy. Dopamine agonists showed some antidepressant effects, there are no sufficient numbers of RCTs. Important randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are summarized. SSRIs and SNRIs have a satisfying efficacy in DPD. TCAs are also good for improving depression. Side effects of different antidepressants (e.g. TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs, bupropion, MAOIs) and potential interactions should be considered. In existing guidelines so far no statements, algorithms and recommendations are given for diagnosis and treatment of DPD. Methodologically adequate designed RCTs and comparative studies (NIS) which offer evidence-based results are urgently needed having the impact of DPD in mind.

Abstract
In people with Parkinson's disease, neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms are common throughout the disease course. These symptoms can be disabling and as clinically relevant as motor symptoms, and their presentation can be similar to, or distinct from, their counterparts in the general population. Correlates and risk factors for developing neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms include demographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics. The underlying neurobiology of these presentations is complex and not well understood, with the strongest evidence for neuropathological changes associated with Parkinson's disease, mechanisms linked to dopaminergic therapy, and effects not specific to Parkinson's disease. Assessment instruments and formal diagnostic criteria exist, but there is little routine screening of these signs and symptoms in clinical practice. Mounting evidence supports a range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, but relatively few efficacious treatment options exist. Optimising the management of neuropsychiatric presentations in people with Parkinson's disease will require additional research, raised awareness, specialised training, and development of innovative models of care.

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Dopamine Agonists in Advanced Parkinson's Disease With Motor Fluctuations: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trials. Front Neurosci 2021; 15:728083.

Abstract
Background: Movement fluctuations are the main complication of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receiving long-term levodopa (L-dopa) treatment. We compared and ranked the efficacy and safety of dopamine agonists (DAs) with regard to motor fluctuations by using a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) to quantify information from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods and Findings: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis, and only RCTs comparing DAs for advanced PD were included. Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were systematically searched for relevant studies published until January 2021. Two reviewers independently extracted individual study data and evaluated studies for risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Network meta-analyses using a Bayesian framework were used to calculate the related parameters. The pre-specified primary and secondary outcomes were efficacy (“ON” time without troublesome dyskinesia, “OFF” time, “ON” time, “UPDRS-III,” and “UPDRS-II”) and safety [treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) and other adverse events] of DAs. The results are presented as the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curve. A total of 20 RCTs assessing 6,560 patients were included. The general DA effects were ranked from high to low with respect to the amount of “ON” time without troublesome dyskinesia as follows: apomorphine (SUCRA = 97.08%), pramipexole_IR (probability = 79.00%), and ropinirole_PR (SUCRA = 63.92%). The general safety of DAs was ranked from high to low with respect to TEAE as follows: placebo (SUCRA = 74.49%), pramipexole_ER (SUCRA = 63.6%), sumanirole (SUCRA = 54.07%), and rotigotine (SUCRA = 53.84%). Conclusions: This network meta-analysis shows that apomorphine increased “ON” time without troublesome dyskinesia and decreased “OF” time for advanced PD patients. The addition of pramipexole, ropinirole, or rotigotine to levodopa treatment in advanced PD patients with motor fluctuations increased “ON” time without troublesome dyskinesia, improved the UPDRS III scores, and ultimately ameliorated the UPDRS II scores, thereby maximizing its benefit. This NMA of pramipexole, ropinirole, and rotigotine represents an effective treatment option and has an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced PD.

Abstract
We report the case of a 67-year-old Japanese Parkinson's disease (PD) patient with depression who was successfully treated with vortioxetine. The patient's PD was being treated with levodopa (100 mg/day). As improvement was noted in PD symptoms, levodopa was continued. Subsequently, she was referred to our department due to worsening of her depressive symptoms, including depressed mood, anhedonia, decreased energy, decreased concentration, decreased motivation, insomnia, hopelessness, and worthlessness. The patient did not respond to paroxetine and escitalopram. Finally, vortioxetine improved her depressive state without worsening PD.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent and have major adverse effects on function and quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Optimal management requires that motor symptoms and psychiatric symptoms be simultaneously addressed. While there is fairly robust evidence for the treatment of motor symptoms, there are no completed randomized controlled trials to guide pharmacological treatment of anxiety in PD and no nonpharmacologic interventions have proven efficacious. Several high-quality trials for depression in PD suggest a number of antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy may help, but there is no data on rates of recurrence, comparative efficacy, or augmentation strategies. In order to address the gaps in knowledge, the authors provide a summary of the current evidence for treating depression and anxiety in PD and offer an algorithm that extends beyond the current literature based on clinical experience working in a multidisciplinary specialty center.

Abstract
Mood and anxiety disorders are the most common neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of lifetime and current anxiety disorders in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD), to explore possible distinctive neurological and psychiatric features associated with such comorbidity. One hundred patients were consecutively recruited at the Movement Disorders Section of the Neurological Outpatient Clinic of the University of Pisa. According to the MINI-Plus 5.0.0, 41 subjects were diagnosed with lifetime anxiety disorder (22 with panic disorder) and 26 were diagnosed with current anxiety disorders. Patients with anxiety disorders were more frequently characterized by psychiatric symptoms preceding PD, lifetime major depression and antidepressant treatments. They showed more anxious temperamental traits and scored higher at Parkinson Anxiety Scale (PAS) and persistent anxiety subscale. Current anxiety disorders were associated with more severe psychopathology, depressive symptomatology, and avoidant behavior. Among anxiety subtypes, patients with lifetime panic disorder showed higher rates of psychiatric symptoms before PD, lifetime unipolar depression, current psychiatric treatment, and a more severe psychopathology. Given the overall high impact of anxiety on patients' quality of life, clinicians should not underestimate the extent of different anxiety dimensions in PD.

Abstract
Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) remains one of the most prevalent mental health conditions. It is a chronic, relapsing condition and despite multiple treatment options, many patients fail to achieve remission of symptoms. Inadequacy of treatment has stimulated the search for agents with significant therapeutic advantages.Areas covered: This review examines literature concerning the use of desvenlafaxine in the treatment of MDD published since a previous analysis in this journal in 2014. Published papers were identified via a PubMed and Web of Science search and excluded congress presentations. Results from clinical trials in MDD, systematic reviews, and post hoc analyses in patient subgroups, are reviewed.Expert opinion: Desvenlafaxine was an effective antidepressant with favorable safety and tolerability in adults. Efficacy was demonstrated in the subgroup of peri- and post-menopausal women with MDD but not in children and adolescents. There is a relatively low potential for drug-drug interactions due to its metabolic profile. Hepatic impairment does not significantly alter dose requirements, whereas severe renal disease requires some adjustments of dose. Desvenlafaxine maybe suitable in patients with comorbid physical illnesses. Desvenlafaxine can be a first line consideration for the treatment of cases of MDD uncomplicated by medical comorbidities.

Abstract
Depression is a common neuropsychiatric symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), resulting in a lower quality of life and cognitive impairment in PD patients. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas have been widely used in neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychic disorders to improve life quality of patients in ethnomedicine. TCM formulas combined with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) also have a positive effect on depressed PD compared with SSRIs as reported by several clinical studies. However, the results are discordant and failed to be conclusive. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of TCM formulas combined with SSRIs for depressed PD in this systematic review. We searched literatures from PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and VIP Information Database before July 2020. We included randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of TCM formulas combined with SSRIs on depressed PD patients. This analysis was according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. Eleven randomized clinical trials involving 861 subjects were enrolled in this analysis. The overall results showed that TCM formulas combined with SSRIs significantly improved the depression score [weighted mean difference (WMD): −4.920, 95% confidence interval (CI): (−5.999, −3.840); [Formula: see text]¡ 0.001] and had a statistical significance on Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale II score [WMD: −1.209, 95% CI: (−1.561, −0.857); [Formula: see text] < 0.001]. Furthermore, we observed that Chai-Hu-Shu-Gan Powder combined with SSRIs had a significant improvement on the depressive symptom in PD compared to the SSRIs alone [WMD: −5.390, 95% CI: (−7.66, −3.11); [Formula: see text] < 0.001]. No severe side events were reported in these included trials. This systematic review provided the evidences that TCM formulas combined with SSRIs might be helpful and safe in the treatment of depression of PD, including Chai-Hu-Shu-Gan Powder. Also, more randomized double-blinded trials with reliable design are required in the future.

Abstract
Major and minor forms of depression are significant contributors to Parkinson's disease morbidity and caregiver burden, affecting up to 50% of these patients. Nonetheless, symptoms of depression are still underrecognized and undertreated in this context due to scarcity of evidence and, consequently, consistent clinical guideline recommendations. Here, we carried out a prospective, multicentre, 2-round modified Delphi survey with 49 questions about the aetiopathological mechanisms of depression in Parkinson's disease (10), clinical features and connections with motor and nonmotor symptoms (10), diagnostic criteria (5), and therapeutic options (24). Items were assessed by a panel of 37 experts (neurologists, psychiatrists, and a geriatrist), and consensus was achieved in 81.6% of them. Depressive symptoms, enhanced by multiple patient circumstances, were considered Parkinson's disease risk factors but not clinical indicators of motor symptom and disease progression. These patients should be systematically screened for depression while ruling out both anhedonia and apathy symptoms as they are not necessarily linked to it. Clinical scales (mainly the Geriatric Depression Scale GDS-15) can help establishing the diagnosis of depression, the symptoms of which will require treatment regardless of severity. Efficacious and well-tolerated pharmacological options for Parkinson's comorbid depression were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (especially sertraline), dual-action serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, and duloxetine), multimodal (vortioxetine, bupropion, mirtazapine, and tianeptine), and anti-Parkinsonian dopamine agonists (pramipexole, ropinirole, and rotigotine). Tricyclic antidepressants and combining type B monoamine oxidase inhibitors with serotonergic drugs have serious side effects in these patients and therefore should not be prescribed. Electroconvulsive therapy was indicated for severe and drug-refractory cases. Cognitive behavioural therapy was recommended in cases of mild depression. Results presented here are useful diagnostic and patient management guidance for other physicians and important considerations to improve future drug trial design.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the 1-year risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), all cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality among newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who used antidepressants compared to those who did not. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with PD aged 40 years or older were identified using data from 2000 through 2016 held within the Welsh Secure Anonymized Information Linkage (SAIL) databank. Antidepressant users were propensity-score matched 1:1 with non-users, adjusting for patients' demographics, socioeconomic status, and multiple comorbidities. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between the antidepressants and the study outcomes. The follow-up period was 1 year after the initial prescription of antidepressants. RESULTS The study group comprised a total of 3364 participants, with numbers split equally between the antidepressant-user and non-user groups, based on the propensity score-matching process. Overall, the propensity score-adjusted model showed that antidepressant usage in PD patients was not significantly associated with the risk of IHD (HR = 1.05; 95% CI 0.63-1.75) or all cardiovascular events (HR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.71-1.45) compared to non-users. The propensity score-adjusted model also showed that the use of any antidepressant, regardless of its category, was not statistically significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR = 0.81; 95% CI 0.65-1.02). However, this association reached statistical significance in the multivariate adjusted model (HR = 0.67; 95% CI 0.54-0.84). CONCLUSION There was no evidence that antidepressant use was associated with an increased risk of IHD or all cardiovascular events in newly diagnosed PD patients who suffered from depression. Furthermore, antidepressant use might reduce the mortality rate in PD patients during the first year after initiation.

Abstract
Depression is one of the most common non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD), which largely determines both the severity of the course of the disease and the life expectancy of patients, as well as the compliance of patients to and the efficiency of antiparkinsonian therapy. In this connection, the search for a safe and effective antidepressant for patients with PD is of particular relevance.Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vortioxetine in patients with PD complicated by mild to moderate depression.Patients and methods. Examinations were made in 150 patients with PD in its early and advanced stages (Hoehn-Yahr stages: 1.0 to 3.0). All the patients were treated with vortioxetine at a dose of 15 or 20 mg/day for 8 months. The investigators used clinical and psychopathological rating scales, such as the Hospital Depression Scale (HADS-D), the Hospital Anxiety Scale (HADS-A), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The severity of PD motor manifestations was assessed according to the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III.Results and discussion. During the follow-up period corresponding to 12 weeks of vortioxetine use, all the patients showed a significant decrease in MARDS, HADS-A and HADS-D, and BDI scores for depression and anxiety (p < 0.001). Vortioxetine demonstrated an optimal balance between tolerability and clinical efficacy in correcting affective disorders in this patient group. In addition, analysis of the dynamics of motor disorders yielded data on the improvement of movement functions while correcting depression as lower UPDRS Part III total scores (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The findings suggest that vortioxetine has a significant effect on depression and anxiety in patients with PD in its early and advanced stages, good tolerability, and a rapid-onset effect.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders and suicide have been reported in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. The aims of the present paper were to determine whether patients with Parkinson's disease have an increased rate of suicide and to identify the clinical features possibly associated with suicide risk in Parkinson's disease. We also reviewed the studies on suicide risk in Parkinson's disease in patients after deep brain stimulation. We performed a Medline, Excerpta Medica, PsycLit, PsycInfo and Index Medicus search to identify all articles published on this topic from 1970 to 2019. The following search terms were used: suicide OR suicide attempt OR suicidal ideation OR suicide risk AND Parkinson's disease AND Parkinson's disease and deep brain stimulation. The studies we identified that assessed the suicide rate associated with Parkinson's disease yielded contrasting results, although an increase in suicidal ideation did emerge. The studies on the effect of deep brain stimulation on suicide risk in Parkinson's disease also reported mixed findings. Psychiatric symptoms, including depression, appear to be associated with suicide risk in patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing medical and after surgical treatment. The studies reviewed suggest that suicidal ideation is increased in Parkinson's disease. Further longitudinal studies designed to assess suicidality in this condition are still needed.

Abstract
Parkinson disease has historically been conceptualized as a movement disorder. In recent decades, nonmotor and neuropsychiatric symptoms have become increasingly recognized as being of paramount importance for patients with Parkinson disease. Neuropsychiatric phenomena dominate the course of the other major Lewy body disease, dementia with Lewy bodies. In this review, we survey the clinical relevance of nonmotor and neuropsychiatric symptoms to the heterogeneous presentations of Lewy body disease and their significance to ongoing research in this area. We consider how the nature of Lewy body neuropathology may help explicate the basis of nonmotor and neuropsychiatric symptoms in these two disorders.

Abstract
Depression is a frequent non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), and may even precede the onset of motor symptoms of parkinsonism. Beyond its negative influence on mood, depression in PD is frequently associated with other neuropsychiatric symptoms and with late-stage complications such as dementia. Despite its profound impact on the quality of life and cognitive functioning in PD, depression in PD is often under-recognized and poorly treated. Pathophysiological studies demonstrated that depression in PD is associated with global dysfunction of interactions between discrete brain areas rather than focal structural or functional abnormalities, and that it is sustained by pathological changes of several neurotransmitter/receptor complexes. In general, all traditional antidepressants and some dopamine agonists have been found to be safe and well-tolerated to treat depressive symptoms in PD, despite initial warning on worsening of parkinsonism. Available data suggest that the time-course of response differs among antidepressants. Efficacy results from clinical trials with antidepressant in PD are, however, rather uncertain,
although pooled analysis suggests a moderate benefit. Several issues may critically impact the
results of clinical trials with antidepressants in PD, including the correct psychiatric diagnosis, the overlap of symptoms between depression and PD, and the selection of appropriate end-points and rating scales.

Abstract
Depression is the most common non-motor manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD), which significantly affects the rate of disease progression and increases the risk of motor complications and dementia. The paper considers the etiology and pathogenesis, cause-and-effect factors of depression in PD, and features of its diagnosis and treatment. Attention is paid to the algorithm for a physician's actions in the detection of depressive disorder in a patient with PD, to the choice of an antidepressant, and to the promising areas of therapy.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Although its major manifestation is motor symptoms, resulting from the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, psychiatric symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, hallucination, delusion, apathy and anhedonia, impulsive and compulsive behaviors, and cognitive dysfunction, may also manifest in most patients with PD. Given that the quality of life - and the need for institutionalization - is so highly dependent on the psychiatric well-being of patients with PD, psychiatric symptoms are of high clinical significance. We reviewed the prevalence, risk factors, pathophysiology, and treatment of psychiatric symptoms to get a better understanding of PD for improved management.
