Everyone knows that P.D. is often associated with depression, but almost in the case of my father I think there is no so simply. My father (he has P.D., not me :-)) is surely depressed, but... I think that depression is a disease began *before* P.D. I'm a depressed too (now I have been cured) and so I recognize in my father many synptoms of depression he has from many years. So I'm asking: how many of my father's problems depends from depression and how many from P.D.? Last year my father was in-patient in a clinic because his P.D. situation was very awful. Well, only for a test, a day he toke a very little quantity of Laroxil (anti-depressive). The day after, he was an other man: he seems not have P.D. anymore. Now there are other problems (he don't want take care of himself, in practice ;-)), but in this last days I have convinced him to go to a psychiatrist, and my final purpose is to in-patient him in an hospital in which he can be cured by neurologists and psychiatrists together. Maybe it would resole major problems... I hope so. What do you think of my project? I'm right or I'm doing a silliness? bye Alessandra
