Abstract

Depression is a not only highly prevalent in the general population but also in neurological disorders such as Parkinson disease (PD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). The manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of depression in both PD and multiple sclerosis can be complex. There is limited scientific research related to current therapies. There is a need for further research with regard to treatment options in depression for both neurological disorders.
