Building Your PD Mental Health Team
Wellness Wednesdays: Mental Wellness Series
Although Parkinson’s disease (PD) is known as a movement disorder, for many people living with PD, mood disturbances, such as depression, anxiety and apathy, are some of the most troublesome symptoms. Recognizing mood changes and deciding when it’s time to seek help are the first steps to building your mental health team. An important part of this process is finding and connecting with the right specialists.
Join us to learn how others are managing mental health challenges and building their mental health team during this candid, virtual conversation.
