Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) affects a significant portion of Parkinson's disease patients, leading to hallucinations and delusions, which can impair quality of life and increase healthcare needs.
- The traditional treatment for PDP involves atypical antipsychotics, but these have limitations such as monitoring requirements and side effects, making pimavanserin a preferable option since it doesn't worsen motor symptoms or require blood tests.
- Various clinical scenarios highlight the complexities of managing PDP and using pimavanserin effectively, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment to minimize symptoms and enhance patient well-being.
