  • Some of the first symptoms people with Parkinson's may experience are not visible to others. As Parkinson's progresses, cognitive, and other non-motor symptoms continue to be a significant aspect of living with Parkinson's. Joanne Hamilton, PhD, ABPP-CN, of Advanced Neurobehavioral Health of Southern California in Poway, CA, explains what to expect and how to distinguish symptoms caused by Parkinson's from those caused by medications. Her presentation for the Davis Phinney Foundation audience offers hope and practical strategies for understanding and managing cognitive and non-motor challenges.

    Patients with Parkinsons do much better under the care of a neurologist than other md's. As soon as my dad's hand tremors started, I got him to a neurologist. He has had Parkinsons for about 10 years & now is 90 years old. He is doing a lot better than some 70 year olds!!! I am in the health care field & understand Parkinsons very well....Also, most patients are slower in the morning. My dad's best time for md appointments is 1:00 pm. Then we go to lunch, maybe stop at Home Depot or Costco, we return home & he is ready for a nap. Don't overschedule & try to do 2 md appointments in one day unless they are in the same building. Costco & lunch are fun things after a doctor appointment. Sometimes he wants to do both. Other days if he is tired, we just do one. Be flexible as a caregiver.

    PD impairs:
    *ability to think flexibly
    *ability to problem solve
    *ability to initiate behaviors
    *behavioral regulations
    *cognitive problems
    changes in personality
    50% unusual anxiety
    90% sleep disturbances
    autonomic system dysfunction
    *bladder
    *constipation
    *heat problem, temp regulation
    *saliva/tear production
    30% pain syndrome that cant get figured out
    5:00
    95% experience cognitive changes (in thinking)
    25-30% develop some frank dementia; impairments that (temporarily) disrupt routine daily functions.
    executive and organizational function
    language and communication
    executive dysfunction affects
    *problem-solving
    *planning/organization
    *decision-making
    *retrieval of words (ex when excited)
    *cognitive flexibility
    initiation/motivation to engage (ex exercise or socialize)
    visual spacial dysfunction
    *depth perception (bump into things)
    *hallucinations
    speech/language problems
    10:22
    memory, difficulty retrieving (ex old memories), but once retrieved does not go lost again as in alzheimers.
    11:00
    personality changes
    *greater irritability
    *difficulty with frustration
    *anxiety
    *lack of motivation
    13:30 dopamine therapies can cause
    sleep disorders
    *random daytime sleep attacks (dangerous in car, at work, if standing/walking)
    mixed with anti-histamines can cause confusion and higher risk of falls
    14:50 you are not crazy or lazy; you have PD
    16:15 movement disorder specialists grasp the complexity of PD and how Rx impact it all
    19:36 speech therapy
    20:20 exercise is as beneficial as any PD Rx
    24:22 early DBS treatment may lower need for dopamine therapies later which can relieve/benefit non-motor challenges. DBS deep brain stimulation involves a brain implant invasive surgery.

    I was diagnosed last November, 2023. I am 70 years old and have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks all my life. I take meds for that. I am generally a fun happy person but lately I seem to be depressed terribly and I exercise every day, play ping pong, pool, foosball, take a rock steady boxing class twice a week. But my anxiety has really interfered with my daily functions, that scared feeling. I am going to seek help tomorrow to see a psychologist to get help for that. I love your book. It has helped me a lot. I have a sign on my bathroom wall that says rising helix because that is what I want to be for others! God bless you!

It is his inability to accept his situation, our situation, that is so frustrating for both of us and his behaviour towards me is so different to what he projects to others even our children. I have been trying all of these techniques, I think this video will certainly be very useful for him too. Thank you.

    Excellent presentation. Unfortunately I confirm many neurologists treating Parkinson limit their work to prescribing drugs to address motor symptoms and don't ever inform the patient and the family of the other symptoms or drugs side effects, so when those happen they are even more terrifying to witness because they are completely unexpected. Actually, I feel often doctors do not even recognize non-motor symptoms as relevant symptoms that can greatly impact the quality of life and should be addressed.

He is very well respected in the field when it comes to evaluating and treating the non-physical symptoms of the disease but has very little advice regarding non-motor symptoms. Fortunately, I have had a long-term psychiatrist treating my ADHD who has a lot of experience treating people with non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's.

    Thank you for that! I’m 38 and I have been told that it’s probably Parkinson’s! Some of the things that you’ve mentioned resonates for well. I’ve always been very healthy, and always been strong guy. Many of the points that you have pointed out have not been addressed with my movement specialist, especially the pain in different parts of my body that have been undiagnosed. No doubt you have truly taken time to think about and analyze this disease. I’m the baby of a eight children and no one else has this disease but me. I appreciate that you truly are trying to understand and sympathize with peoples feelings. Even though it doesn’t seem that you are coping with this disease it’s nice when someone tries to empathize with you. Thank you again,

      Hi, very nice presentation. I am 84, and in the “do I or don’t I have Parkinson’s”. I have gone to 4 movement neurologists/Dr’s and are 2 to 2. NEGATIVE DAT scan. I tend to be, I don’t have or I am in denial! I am doing ok, normal disintegration we all have. Trudge on, my main problem is “organization”.
      Bless you, and I am sure you are doing well. SteveH

    Families ALWAYS develop denial. So glad she included the reaction responses of “ normal” people without the diagnosis. It puts the people diagnosed in a much more humane context. We all have brain tics, n’est ce pas? I like her humble approach to conditions of rather hard facts that can be harsh and disruptive to live with.

    I was diagnosed with PD 9 months ago but I know now I had symptoms starting about 5 years ago. My tremor is mainly only in my left hand so not a big problem when I am not stressed. I used to be very organized and would enjoy taking on projects. Lately I have given up my volunteer position because I don’t feel I can do a good job any more. This video helped me immensely to understand some of the symptoms I was not aware of.

    • @patricianorman7302
      @patricianorman7302 Рік тому

      One of the most difficult[t symptoms is speech and the loss of speech or jumbled speech and not being understood It means I have to carry note paper and trying to get understood . The problem most of life is done at a cracking pace from the supermarkets to getting problems fixed. It is alright if you have someone who does not work that can go with you
