THIS MONTH ON ‘TOGETHER IN PARKINSON’S': PARKINSON'S PSYCHOSIS WITH DR. LEGGE
Category:You’ll want to catch our latest Together in Parkinson’s podcast episode featuring Dr. John Legge, a neurologist with a specialty in Movement Disorders – like Parkinson’s – to discuss Parkinson’s psychosis.
We discuss the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for hallucinations and delusions, which affect anywhere from 20 - 70% of all Parkinson’s patients. The conversation emphasizes the importance of early recognition, caregiver responses, and the need for community education to improve quality of life for those affected by Parkinson’s. Remember that open discussions about Parkinson’s psychosis reduce stigma and isolation – and open the door for your medical professionals to implement solutions.
Wondering what our podcast is about? As caregivers, people with Parkinson's, and friends of the community, we know time is of the essence when battling neurological disorders... and the learning curve is steep. That's why we developed Together in Parkinson's, our podcast featuring subject-matter experts to deliver the latest news, research, and education. Listen on-the-go or watch at your leisure.
