| **Parkinson’s Disease Dementia** (PDD) is a form of dementia that develops after the diagnosis of [[geri:parkinsons|Parkinson's Disease]]. Patients with PD have an almost six-fold increased risk of developing dementia. By definition, Parkinson's disease dementia is cognitive decline that occurs //after// the onset of Parkinson's disease. | **Parkinson’s Disease Dementia** (PDD) is a form of dementia that develops after the diagnosis of [[geri:parkinsons|Parkinson's Disease]].
