How is depression diagnosed?

There aren’t any tests to confirm depression. If you have signs of depression, reach out to your healthcare provider. They’ll talk with you about your symptoms, how long you’ve had them and how much they interfere with your life.

Your healthcare provider may also review your Parkinson’s medications with you. This’ll help make sure that:

• Your medications aren’t causing depression symptoms.
• Your medications are managing your Parkinson’s disease symptoms as much as possible.
