I know there has been discussion of PD and depression
but I am afraid that up to now I haven't paid much
attention to it.  Now I have reason to be concerned
because of a family member with PD who is told that
she is suffering from depression.
Obviously PD and its accompanying problems are a
significant reason to become depressed.  But
here is my question.  PD affects brain chemistry--
does PD also chemically cause depression?
What drugs are typically prescribed for this
type of depression?  Prozac?  Or other drugs?
Thanks.
