Neuropsychiatric symptoms occur frequently in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Pharmacological treatment of the psychiatric symptoms has been found to be inadequate. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an evidence based form of psychotherapy that is effective in treating a number of psychiatric disorders. In this article we examine the evidence of CBT in treating common psychiatric symptoms seen in PD patients, namely depression, anxiety, insomnia and impulse control behaviors. Most of the studies adapted CBT to address PD related concerns. Caregivers were frequently part of the CBT programs. Among the studies reviewed, randomized controlled trials showed significant effects in treating depression with CBT in PD patients. Studies have also provided preliminary data for effects of CBT on anxiety, impulse-control behaviors and insomnia. There is a need for more well designed studies with sufficient power for CBT to be established as a useful non-pharmacological treatment for psychiatric symptoms in PD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is traditionally regarded as a movement disorder. In recent years, however, non-motor symptoms have been considered significant factors of disability at all stages of the illness. Behavioral and psychological symptoms or neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with PD are frequent and may represent a challenge in the management of these patients. They include anxiety, depression, psychosis, sleep, sexual and impulse control disorders, apathy and cognitive dysfunction. Their pathogenesis in PD is complex, involving neurodegenerative, drug-related and psychological mechanisms. We will review the current knowledge of this growing field, also focusing on the management of theses syndromes.
