Background: Depressive disorders are recognized as a common neuropsychiatric disorder of Parkinson's disease (PD). Reported frequencies vary widely among studies and depend on the diagnostic criteria, the methods of ascertainment used, and the population sampled.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of depressive disorders in PD and to investigate the relationship with PD clinical variables.
We explored the adherence to a home-delivered, computer-based, cognitive remediation protocol in a first-episode psychosis outpatient cohort.

Neuropsychological, psychopathological, and functional data were collected at baseline and postintervention, whereas qualitative appraisal of the intervention was assessed monthly.
