In individuals with Parkinson’s<\/strong> disease, the use of dopaminergic drugs that can stimulate receptors for dopamine<\/strong>, a deficient neurotransmitter in this disease, can result in side effects characterized by poor impulse control: these include pathological gambling, hypersexuality, and compulsive shopping<\/em>. However, the same drug treatment<\/strong> has stimulated increased creativity<\/strong> and the acquisition of new artistic skills in some individuals with Parkinson’s disease.<\/p>\n

While poor impulse<\/strong> control, such as especially pathological gambling, is well recognized in the literature, creativity remains underestimated, probably because it is an often-appreciated event and as such not likely to create distress, either in patients or their families. In a recent study, researchers evaluated about 20 subjects with Parkinson’s disease who exhibited greater artistic creativity<\/strong> after dopaminergic treatment than before. Among the artistic activities found in first place is painting, but also the development of poetic skills(Schrag and Trimble 2001<\/em>; Walker et al, 2006)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that a stimulating family environment could bring out creative aspects more frequently during Parkinson’s disease treated with dopaminergic drugs. But a not insignificant aspect is that the same patients in whom there is the appearance of artistic activities also report a state of well-being and a loss of awareness of the disease and even of disease-related physical limitations(Chatterjee et al, 2006)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
