The largest-ever clinical study of Parkinson’s Disease, the Parkinson’s Outcomes Project, found that depression and anxiety are the top factors impacting the overall health of people with Parkinson’s. This month, we would like to bring attention to the mental health challenges faced by so many individuals with PD and the resources available to help.
As we turn our focus to mental health, we encourage you to be kind to yourself. Mental health challenges are not personal failings or signs of weakness but rather are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain.
To learn more about Parkinson’s, depression, and anxiety, go to www.parkinson....
Here are several resources that can help if you are experiencing mental health challenges
• National Suicide prevention lifeline: 988

• SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357) (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service), is a confidential, free information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders. This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations.
