Mantener nuestra salud es un proceso continuo durante el cual nos debemos enfocar en llevar un estilo de vida saludable; para lograrlo, es importante entender que existen cuatro pilares que se interconectan entre sí y que lo que pasa en uno repercute directamente en los otros, ya que somos un sistema y todo está interconectado. Estos cuatro pilares son: la alimentación, el ejercicio, el sueño y el manejo del estrés y de las emociones.

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.
