On this page, our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses explain what Parkinson\u2019s is, its symptoms, treatment options and what happens when someone develops both dementia and Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Parkinson\u2019s disease?<a id=\"what-is\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Parkinson\u2019s is a condition in which a part of the brain called the substantia nigra loses nerve cells. This loss of nerve cells results in a reduction of a substance called dopamine, which is important for the regulation of movement of the body. As dopamine levels decrease, the person\u2019s movements become slower.<\/p>\n<p>Most people with a diagnosis of Parkinson\u2019s do not go on to develop dementia \u2013 although about a third will, usually in the later stages. This is known as \u2018Parkinson\u2019s with dementia\u2019 and may also be referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/types-of-dementia\/dementia-with-lewy-bodies\/\">Lewy body dementia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s<\/h3>\n<p>Symptoms that can point to Parkinson\u2019s may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>tremors (usually beginning in the hand or arm)<\/li>\n<li>muscle stiffness<\/li>\n<li>slower physical movement<\/li>\n<li>cognitive impairment<\/li>\n<li>balance issues<\/li>\n<li>nerve pain<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/health-advice\/continence\/\">urinary incontinence<\/a> and constipation<\/li>\n<li>dizziness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Causes and risk factors<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, Parkinson\u2019s is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra part of the brain. This is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that Parkinson\u2019s affects about one in 500 people and it is currently thought that it may be due to a combination of genetic and environmental causes. About one-fifth of people diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s are under 40 years old, but it is more common in people over the age of 50.<\/p>\n<h3>Genetic factors of Parkinson\u2019s<\/h3>\n<p>Research into Parkinson\u2019s has found a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/types-of-dementia\/genetic-familial-forms-of-dementia\/\">genetic factors<\/a> that increase a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/about-dementia\/causes-and-risk-factors\/\">person\u2019s risk of developing the disease<\/a>, although it is not clear why. In rare cases a faulty gene can be passed to a child by their parents which leads to Parkinson\u2019s, but this is not common.<\/p>\n<h3>Diagnosis<\/h3>\n<p>While there is no one test that can conclusively diagnose Parkinson\u2019s, the GP should make an initial assessment of the combination of symptoms, take a medical history and carry out a physical examination.<\/p>\n<p>If the GP does suspect Parkinson\u2019s, the person should be referred to a specialist, such as a neurologist, who specialises in the brain or nervous system, or a geriatrician who specialises in conditions impacting older people.<\/p>\n<p>During the appointment, the specialist will review the person\u2019s movement through physical exercise and may also request specialised brain scans to rule out any other conditions that could be causing the symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>The link between Parkinson\u2019s and dementia<a id=\"link\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>People who have Parkinson\u2019s are more likely to develop specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/types-of-dementia\/\">types of dementia<\/a>, the symptoms of which develop over time. Initially, the symptoms may be quite mild, with progression being seen over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Does having Parkinson\u2019s cause dementia?<\/h3>\n<p>Around a third of people with Parkinson\u2019s will develop dementia. This is because the disease that causes Parkinson\u2019s is very similar to the one that causes dementia with Lewy bodies.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Parkinson\u2019s dementia a type of dementia?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Parkinson\u2019s dementia is a type of dementia that is categorised by an initial diagnosis of Parkinson\u2019s, with symptoms of dementia developing at least a year post diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h3>Parkinson\u2019s and Lewy body dementia<\/h3>\n<p>If a person develops dementia symptoms before or alongside movement symptoms, specialists are likely to make a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia. However, if the symptoms of dementia develop a year after the onset of movement symptoms, the person is likely to be given a diagnosis of Parkinson\u2019s dementia will be given.

The physical effects of Parkinson\u2019s can be managed by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/health-advice\/medication-for-people-living-with-dementia\/\">medications<\/a> that increase the amount of dopamine in the brain<\/li>\n<li>adapting the home environment so any trip hazards are removed and risks minimised<\/li>\n<li>a referral to speech and language therapy if there are speech or swallowing problems<\/li>\n<li>a referral to a physiotherapist for movement issues<\/li>\n<li>a referral to an occupational therapist to assess what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/living-with-dementia\/living-aids-and-assistive-technology\/\">living aids and assistive technology<\/a> may help around the house<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the person with Parkinson\u2019s has significant communication or cognitive issues, they can be managed by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>reviewing the medication given for Parkinson\u2019s as this may be worsening the cognitive symptoms<\/li>\n<li>speaking slowly and clearly if understanding and thought processes are slowed<\/li>\n<li>reducing distractions<\/li>\n<li>giving time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/living-with-dementia\/tips-for-communication\/\">communication<\/a> \u2013 it may take longer for the person to respond<\/li>\n<li>asking questions to narrow down the answer, giving choices or using yes\/no cards or picture cards \u2013 the person may have word-finding difficulties as well as needing longer to respond<\/li>\n<li>using a mobile phone, tablet or electronic communication aid<\/li>\n<li>avoiding unfamiliar or noisy places as they can cause distress and distractions<\/li>\n<li>providing a routine and activities that the person enjoys and feels comfortable with<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bear in mind that a person\u2019s understanding can often be well preserved even if they cannot communicate verbally.<\/p>\n<p>It is a good idea for the person with Parkinson\u2019s dementia and their family to have a needs assessment to look at what support the person with the diagnosis needs, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiauk.org\/information-and-support\/financial-and-legal-support\/the-carers-assessment\/\">carer\u2019s assessment<\/a> to look at support for their family, and a financial assessment to see if they qualify for funding for any of this support.

It should be based on their interests and abilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Nutrition<\/h3>\n<p>While there is no specific diet that should be followed, a healthy and balanced diet is recommended for people with Parkinson\u2019s dementia. It is important to consider the person&#8217;s needs, in particular if they have difficulties with swallowing. If you need advice on nutrition for a person with Parkinson\u2019s dementia, contact their GP.<\/p>\n<h2>Support available for people with Parkinson\u2019s and dementia<a id=\"support\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkinsons.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parkinsons.org.uk<\/a> or call 0808 800 0303.
