Depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, psychosis and impulse control disorders can be common in people with Parkinson’s and have a profound effect on quality of life. It’s important as a person living with Parkinson’s or as a Parkinson’s care partner to become more educated about these conditions, how they may affect the goal of living well and ways to manage and mitigate them.
In this webinar on psychiatric and cognitive complications in Parkinson’s, Dr. Weintraub addressed:
- Parkinson’s progression and signs to look out for
- Depression and mood disorders
- The difference between Parkinson’s depression and general depression
- The correlation between mood, motor function and Levodopa levels
Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis (PDP)
- Cognitive impairment and dementia and common cognitive profiles of those with Parkinson’s
- Impulse control disorders (ICDs) and related behaviors
- Anxiety
- And much more
Excellent doctor. So smart and great at explaining things clearly
I find your videos on CZcams extremely useful in my self education about PD. The impact of producing a larger cohort of empowered educated patients and carers is a very good strategy to cause powerful long term change. We also need more accessible health education materials in a range of formats for people with a range backgrounds and education levels. As a health promotion professional, I wish we had more evidence based research on the needs of people for education materials and on effective education strategies. Thank you for doing these videos, they work very well for me with my MCI and my background.
Thank you. Great information by two great compassionate people.
Thank you for watching, David. We're glad you found the information valuable.
