Non–motor symptoms are prevalent across all stage of Parkinson’s disease. These nonmotor symptoms were studied in 50

patients with Parkinson’s disease. The most prevalent symptoms were Autonomic which includes Constipation, urinary

Urgency, Orthostatic hypotension, erectile dysfunction and drooling. The most prevalent Neuro behavioural abnormalities were depression,

fatigue, recent memory loss, and anxiety. The number of Non–Motor Symptoms increased as the disease severity progressed. The number of Non–

Motor Symptoms in stages 1 and 1.5 are the least. It increased through stages 2 and 2.5 and was highest reported in stages 3 and 4. Early recognition

and treatment improves the quality of Parkinson’s Disease patients.
