Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disease characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. ,motor symptoms characterized by tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia; however, clinical management requires attention beyond its motor features and needs to involve nonmotor features as well. This is because many patients, over the course of their PD, experience depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, psychosis, and behavioral and cognitive changes .many studies says that for patients and families, these neuropsychiatric disturbances are often more problematic and distressing than the motor aspects of PD . It is important to emphasize to patients, their families, and other colleagues that depressive disorders in PD are treatable and recovery is possible but this is not applicable in Ethiopia because of lack of physiological support but after GlobalGiving support many patients get physiological support and living better quality of life.
