WORLD PARKINSON'S DAY
It is 200 years since Parkinson's disease was first identified. Here are some inspiring thoughts from our friends at Humans of Parkinson's. We're joining in the conversation and uniting for Parkinson's, because 200 years is too long. People with Parkinson's share their experiences, what empowers them and what keeps them going.

Caregiving is a challenging job. Depending on the severity of the condition, you have to be prepared to do the following:
- Accompany the person with Parkinson’s disease for their medical appointments
- Install safety features around the house
- Get additional help if you are not around to monitor and assist the patient
- Additionally, remember that a good relationship and communication with the patient keeps them and you happier and healthier.
- Look after your own health and mental wellbeing.
