ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequency of bipolar disorder, dopamine dysregulation syndrome and punding in Parkinson's disease patients from a Brazilian movement disorders clinic. METHOD: One hundred patients underwent a comprehensive psychiatric examination composed of MINI-plus and specific questionnaires to investigate dopamine dysregulation syndrome and punding. RESULTS: We identified, respectively, one and five Parkinson's disease patients with bipolar disorder type I and type II. All manic/hypomanic episodes occurred before Parkinson's disease onset. No patient was identified with dopamine dysregulation syndrome or punding. CONCLUSION: The frequency of manic/hypomanic episodes seems to decrease with Parkinson's disease onset, and local environmental factors (e.g. drug availability) may be responsible for the low frequency of dopamine dysregulation syndrome and punding in Brazilian Parkinson's disease patients.


OBJETIVO: Investigar a frequência de transtorno bipolar, síndrome de desregulação dopaminérgica e punding em pacientes com doença de Parkinson de uma clínica de movimentos anormais no Brasil. MÉTODO: Cem pacientes foram submetidos à avaliação psiquiátrica composta pelo MINI-Plus e questionários específicos para investigar síndrome de desregulação dopaminérgica e punding. RESULTADOS: Identificamos, respectivamente, um e cinco pacientes com transtorno bipolar tipo I e tipo II. Todos os episódios maníacos/hipomaníacos ocorreram antes do início da doença de Parkinson. Nenhum paciente foi identificado com síndrome de desregulação dopaminérgica ou punding. CONCLUSÃO: A frequência de episódios maníacos/ hipomaníacos parece declinar com o início da doença de Parkinson. Fatores ambientais locais (p.ex.: disponibilidade de drogas) podem ser responsáveis pela baixa frequência de síndrome de desregulação dopaminérgica e punding em pacientes brasileiros com doença de Parkinson.
