Summary

People with Parkinson's disease often suffer from depressions. Treatment of these depressions requires the use of antidepressants. The advanced age of most patients, however, can put limitations on the range of suitable antidepressants. Moreover, the drug should not aggravate Parkinson's disease. Many patients suffering from Parkinson's disease are currently prescribed selegiline. This drug is commonly considered to be a contraindication for antidepressants.

In this article, criteria for the choice of a suitable psychofarmacon are discussed. In particular suggestions are offered for the treatment of patients who are already taking selegiline.
