Coffee & Conversations: Psychosis & Hallucinations
Not everyone with Parkinson’s will experience psychosis or hallucinations, but when they do occur, they can be confusing, distressing, or even frightening for both the person with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. In this open conversation, Dr. Sneha Mantri and a guest expert invite you to bring your questions about what these experiences mean, why they happen, how to recognize them, and how to respond with compassion and calm.
Your questions will guide the discussion as our experts share clear, trustworthy insights and practical strategies to support safety, understanding, and emotional well-being.
Bring your curiosity—and your coffee (or tea!)—for a conversation about one of Parkinson’s most sensitive topics.
