Laziness with no depression may cause Parkinson’s disease. Lindsey Kirsch-Darrow of the University of Florida, the author of the study, said that apathy and depression, both, need better treatment. The ‘Neurology’ published the report of the research.
Apathy and depression, most of the times, misdiagnoses because of sharing the same symptoms. Lack of motivation, lack of interest, lack of effortful behavior and sense of indifference are some symptoms of apathy as well as depression too.
Kirsch-Darrow said further in the report that it is necessary for the caregivers to understand about characteristics of Parkinson disease and depression.
According to Kirsch-Darrow, apathetic behavior cannot be controlled voluntarily. It is not laziness; it is a symptom of Parkinson disease.

I am the first author of this article published in Neurology in July 2006. The first line in this article is incorrect. There is a translation error. Laziness does not cause Parkinson’s disease. Researchers do not know what causes Parkinson’s disease, but it certainly is not laziness or mood disorders. Mood disorders may co-occur with Parkinson’s disease, but they are definitely not causal.
