In the review “A practical approach to detection and treatment of depression in Parkinson disease and dementia” by Goodarzi and Ismail,1 there are several errors. The sixth sentence of the introduction should clarify, “Even when diagnosed with depression, just 20% of patients with PD and 18% of those in assisted living—where there is a 55% prevalence of dementia—receive therapy.”
The eighth sentence of the introduction should have cited references 2 and 3 in addition to references 11 and 12. In the “Treatment” subsection, reference 46 should have been cited rather than reference 30; similarly, reference 46 should replace reference 30 in lines 2, 13, 43, and 45 on page 130, and line 5 on page 132. The sixth sentence under subsection “Overall approach” should cite only reference 33. The authors regret the errors.
