Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is the second most frequent degenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized, by medicine, for a long time as an eminently motor disease. Parkinson’s disease also has non-motor symptoms such as emotional and cognitive disorders, associating the cognitive deterioration that can arrive at dementia. Objective: describe the principal cognitive and emotional symptoms of the patients with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease has stopped being recognized as a motor disease exclusively; in addition get involved emotional and cognitive alterations that can be presented in isolation or multiple, with a performance that extends from the normalcy up to dementia.
