The role of cognitive reserve in coping with subjective congnitive complaints: an exploratory study on people with Parkinson's disease

Depression, anxiety, and apathy are often associated with subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) without cognitive impairment. Cognitive reserve (CR), enhances the emotional resilience allowing to better cope with stress and emotional challenge, factors affecting quality of life. We aimed at exploring the relationship between CR, mood/anxiety and other neuropsychiatric symptoms in cognitively intact PwPD with and without SCC.
