Coffee & Conversations: Anxiety, Depression, & Apathy
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup, and join us for an open conversation with the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sneha Mantri and guest expert. Our Coffee & Conversation series creates a space for you to ask the questions that matter most. This sessions will focuse on the movement symptoms of Parkinson's.
Living with Parkinson’s involves more than managing movement symptoms—many people also experience emotional and motivational changes that can be just as challenging. In this open conversation, Dr. Sneha Mantri and a guest expert invite you to join a thoughtful dialogue about three common but often misunderstood experiences: anxiety, apathy, and depression.
Your questions will guide the discussion as our experts share practical insights, coping strategies, and supportive approaches that can help improve emotional well-being and quality of life.
Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Bring the conversation. Don’t forget your coffee (or tea!).
