Popis: | Depression is a frequent comorbid condition in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is associated with the presence of parkinsonism. Apathy in AD was reported to predict more severe parkinsonism, suggesting that apathy may be an early manifestation of a more aggressive AD phenotype characterized by loss of motivation, increasing parkinsonism, a faster cognitive and functional decline, and more severe depression. |
