Tomorrow is guaranteed for no man. Whilst there is no cure yet for Parkinson's Disease, it is important that each person with Parkinson's has the opportunity to live their best life to the fullest. Parkinson's Care and Support UK is here to go through this journey with you. We fight hard to improve the lives of all those affected by Parkinson's today, and we won't stop until we do.
People often think that Parkinson's only affects you physically. This couldn't be further from the truth. Sadly, Parkinson's Disease can have a big impact on ones mental wellbeing and around 50% of people with Parkinson's will also suffer from anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression are common non-motor symptoms of people living with Parkinson's.
We will be developing a new CBT Helpline to offer therapy across the UK to people with Parkinson's who are living with anxiety and depression. With regular CBT, anxiety and depression can be cured and quality of life and wellbeing significantly improved.
