Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition for which there are symptomatic treatments but no disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Extensive research over the years has highlighted the need for a multi-target DMT approach in PD that recognizes the various risk factors and their intricate interplay in contributing to PD-related neurodegeneration. Widespread risk factors, such as emotional stress and metabolic factors, have increasingly become focal points of exploration. Our review aims to summarize interactions between emotional stress and selected key players in metabolism, such as insulin, as potential mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in PD.
