Rationale 2: Medications do not boost appetite or energy.
Rationale 3: The medications help restore balance between dopamine, not serotonin, and acetylcholine.
Rationale 4: The goal of pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's disease is to increase the ability of the patient to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) such as walking, eating, dressing, and bathing.
