چکیده
The incidence of psychiatric drug side effects is nearly 20% and hallucinations and delusions happen 4% more with dementia comorbidity and cognitive impairment, increasing age and use of higher dose of levodopa. It is assumed that the main precipitant of psychotic phenomena in Parkinson’s disease is dopaminergic excess secondary to the treatment. Also, cognitive impairment with Parkinson’s disease, associated with senility and onset in older age, may prone to psychotic like states [7].
