Abstract

This article explores the relationship between Parkinson's and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, discussing not only the possibility that they can be comorbid conditions but that the presence of one could increase the chances of developing the other. They are rarely documented together, other than in relation to medication-induced side effects, and this could be due to diagnostic overshadowing, or the widely held belief that these conditions are not able to co-exist. It also briefly discusses treatment options available and gaps identified for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
