Hi Thankyou so much for your input. She is currently on no medication only for episodes of migraines. As for sleep deprivation she is very fatigued and groogy sleeping 10 to 12 hrs minimual daily. So shes getting more then normal required. I have heard of jevunile parkisons disease but I thought movement sympotoms begin then cognition can be affected. When I research parkisons dementia is questionable about being linked. She didnt begin with depression but has developed it from not feeling well, which would get anyone down especially a young girl dealing with these symptoms. I will research more Juvenile parkisons. She doesnt show to many movement problems with walking and tremors or shaking it seems her symptoms started with nuerological which seems reversed course.We have appointment with movement specialist and hope to get more insight. Thankyou so much for any information its appreciated. Will keep posted.

Parkinson's can cause depression. On Web M.D., it says that depression is often the first symptom of Parkinson's disease for a year or two before any other symptoms. Parkinson's can also cause hallucinations. Your daughter is young, but she could have juvenile onset (usually between 20-40 years old) Parkinson's.
Is she taking any kind of medication? Some medication can cause dementia-like symptoms. So can sleep deprivation, if she's not been tested for sleeping problems (apnea, etc.). Sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations and difficulty with memory and thinking.
