Conditions
Brief summary
Parkinson’s disease primarily affects the way a person is able to move or walk and causes muscle stiffness and tremor, which can be very disabling. However, these patients also suffer from non-motor symptoms. These non-motor symptoms include depression, cognitive impairment, and sleep disturbances. As the disease progresses these non-motor symptoms have been shown to have a greater impact on the patients quality of life (QoL). Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (OCSD) are a group of psychiatric disorders that have been demonstrated in patient with Parkinson’s disease. We hypothesized that OCSD have an impact on the QoL of patient’s with idiopathic disease. We aim evaluate the prevalence OCSD in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and its impact on the patient’s QoL.
Interventions
Patients with diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Patients will undergo a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), Quality of Life (QoL) using the Parkinson’s disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), and Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson’s disease (QUIP-Anytime During Parkinson’s disease-Full). A neurologist will assess the patients Parkinson’s disease and staging using the Unified Parkinson’s disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), as well as co morbidities and medication use. A psychiatrist will interview the patient for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Related/Spectrum Disorders (Obsessive-Compulsive-Spectrum Disorders) using the Expanded Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV–TR. Patients will be recruited over a 26 month period
