Remember that the role dopamine plays in Parkinsons disease and Lewy Body dementia is not equal to the role in depression. With that said, many suffering dementia also experience depression, that goes for alzheimers, vascular dementia, parkinsons and lewy body dementia.

Your global levels affect everything, if they are down as a result of Parkinsons disease or Lewy Body dementia, they are down everywhere. And a loss of 40% of dopamine neurons from baseline is going to affect mood. There isn't a pool for each malady, it's a system.
