The Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease web cast features a presentation by Dr. Mandar Jog, Associate Professor at the Clinical Neurological Sciences, London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario, Canada.
Do you have Parkinson's disease? Are you a care partner or family member of someone with Parkinson's disease?
Have you noticed non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease and wondered what they mean or what causes them? This education session will help you identify non-motor symptoms that are common in Parkinson's disease, including the effects of medications "wearing off". You will also learn how you can manage these symptoms, including drug and non-drug approaches.
The following are some of the topics that are addressed during the presentation:
- Managing Parkinson's disease
- "Wearing off" and its symptoms
- Is depression part of Parkinson's disease or a separate condition?
- Will everyone with Parkinson's disease experience cognitive changes?
- How can a person improve their speech?
- What causes emotional changes?
- How can these symptoms be treated?
Dr. Jog's lecture lasts for one hour followed by a one-hour Question and Answer Period where web cast participants submitted questions online.
