Depression,personality, anxiety, and behavioral changes, sleep disturbances, and sexual problems are commonly associated with This disease. In many cases, Parkinson's disease does not affect any person's ability to think, reason, learn, or remember which is called as cognitive processes. According to one Study based in France, found in 2015 that men are 50 percent more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than women overall, but the risk for women appears to increase with age.

When Parkinson's disease develops before the age of 50 years, this is called "early onset" Parkinson's disease.
