Description: "This volume reflects the latest advances in treatment and research and represents the most comprehensive clinical reference on the behavioral and psychiatric symptoms associated with movement disorders. Globally respected authorities address the range of neuropsychiatric problems associated with Parkinson's disease and related disorders - with new chapters on anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, apathy, and other complicating factors. Timely coverage explores the behavioral side-effects associated with both drug therapy and surgical interventions, including ablative surgery and deep-brain stimulation."--BOOK JACKET.
