Locus of control, depression, and quality of life in Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract: People can attribute the source of control of events that involve them either to internal or external factors. Through this view, depression can be defined as a belief that one's own behavior is not effective. In case of chronic diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease, depression is more frequent than in the general population.
