What causes parkinson s diseases ?
Patient: I have a Nephew 53 years old with Parkinsons, he s on vet. benefits, and goes to a VA Dr. My sister is getteing afraid of him, because he will go into fits of anger, throw things speak in foul language, than the next day not remember what he has done... it is the medications causing this? Doctor: Hi,It would have been useful if you had mentioned what the medications actually were and their dosage. Generally speaking while medication for Parkinson's may cause some changes in behavior, it is not typical to the extent you describe. Other causes should be considered like depression or other Parkinson's disease like syndromes with more prominent behavior changes.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Olsi Taka, Neurologist
