Abstract

Introduction: depression is the most common neuropsychiatric disorder among people with Parkinson's disease and its prevalence ranges from 2.7% to 90%.
Objective: to establish the relationship between the intensity of depressive symptoms, severity of motor signs and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living.
Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the Neurology Consultation in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease residing in the Municipalities of Santo Domingo and Santa Clara, Villa Clara Province, from January 2017 to January 2019; the sample consisted of 35 patients. The program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21.0 was used in the data analysis. Descriptive statistical methods were used.
Results: there was a significant relationship between the duration of the disease and the intensity of depression. It was determined that the greater the intensity of depression, the worse the motor and functional performance, which coincides with stage III of the Hoehn and Yahr scale.
Conclusions: the greater intensity of depressive symptoms contributed to worse motor and functional performance in these patients.
