Affective Correlates of Psychosis in Parkinson's Disease.
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice 2017 March
OBJECTIVE: To examine the nature of the association between affective disorders and psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD).
BACKGROUND: In PD, psychosis and affective disorders are common and independently impact quality of life and mortality. Both depression and psychosis are correlated with the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction, suggesting that they may share neurobiological substrates. Anxiety has not been examined as a correlate of psychosis.
METHODS: 144 PD subjects were evaluated with the Schedule for Assessment of Positive Symptoms to assess psychotic features, while depression and anxiety were examined by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR (SCID) and self-assessment scales Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Correlational analyses assessed associations between hallucinations and delusions with depression and anxiety.
RESULTS: A diagnosis of anxiety (SCID) was significantly (p=.015) associated with hallucinations (OR=4.81, CI=1.36-16.99). Severity of anxiety (BAI) significantly predicted (p=.03) the presence of hallucinations (OR=1.08, CI=1.01-1.15) and delusions (OR=1.09, CR=1.01-1.17). Current depression (SCID) was significantly (p=.001) associated with the presence of hallucinations (OR=6.12, CI=2.04-18.39) and delusions (OR=7.14, CI=2.23-22.93). Multiple linear regressions revealed that severity of anxiety remained an independent predictor (p<.05) of both the number of types of hallucinations (t=3.06, p=.003) and delusions (t=2.87, p=.005). Severity of depression was a significant predictor of the total number of delusions (t=2.28, p=.024).
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates an association between depression and psychosis and, for the first time, an association between anxiety and psychosis. These associations may have implications on pathophysiology and treatment of psychosis in PD.
