The non-motor symptoms of the condition include the reactions of your body to the medications you’re taking to treat it and Parkinson’s itself. Some of these are cognitive changes, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. 

Having vivid dreams is one of the effects of Parkinson’s disease medications, which may impact the quality of your sleep. If the stage of your condition is more advanced, you may face problems with thinking straight. Likewise, you may see yourself having a hard time finding the right words to say in the middle of a conversation. 

It’s also common to show signs of anxiety and depression. But with proper medications and treatments, these will usually improve over time. Your chance of acquiring melanoma is also increased when you have Parkinson’s. 

Other non-motor symptoms your doctor will assess are the following:

• Excessive sweating, particularly in your upper body
• Urinary urgency and Recurrent urination
• Weight loss
• Issues with your vision and eyes, as a result of slowed blinking and diminishing eye movement
• Constipation
• Fainting, blackouts, or lightheadedness
• A change in your personality, including impulse control dysfunctions
