Beyond the Diagnosis: The Latest in Parkinson’s Medications, Surgery and Mental Health
Saturday, February 5, 2022 | 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET (Postponed from December 11!)
After several years of good symptom management, controlling Parkinson’s disease (PD) may become more challenging. In this program, participants will learn how Parkinson’s symptoms may change over time and new strategies for treating them, including the latest information on medications, surgical therapies and mental health. This program will also provide information on self-advocacy and tools for building support systems to cope with new challenges.
