Expert Briefing: Let's Talk About Dementia
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is often thought of as a disease that only involves movement.

Dementia refers to advanced problems in memory and thinking that interfere with daily activities and quality of life. This webinar will review the various types of dementia, their clinical features as well as ways to manage dementia in Parkinson’s.
