Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
In my opinion, it is important to know that in Parkinson's disease, towards the later stages can cause delusions. Also treatment can precipitate delusion, adding small doses of anti-psychotics is beneficial.
Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
