Core Tip	Parkinson’s disease (PD) predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, with an increasing incidence in aging populations. Anxiety and depression are major psychological symptoms that intensify caregiver dependence and impose heavy burdens on patients and families. Fatigue, another disabling but underrecognized non-motor symptom, further compounds disease impact. However, few studies have addressed its relationship with anxiety and depression in PD. This study assessed the prevalence of anxiety and depression, identified related factors, and analyzed their correlation with fatigue severity.
