Approximately 50-60% of people living with Parkinson’s experience varying levels of depression and anxiety, and nearly all deal with loss. During this YOPD Council session, the members of our Council discussed how they have dealt with depression and anxiety; strategies that have worked and those that haven’t to get into a better headspace; tools for managing feelings of loss; how to communicate issues of mental health to friends, family, and care teams; and much more.

Hello guys! I see you recorded that some time ago. Not sure how you are today. I just wanted you to know that it is always awesome to see you interact and deal with Parkinson in such courageous, funny, intelligent, creative, friendly, and some other adjectives that I can not remember now. I lighted up my day today when I have a lot of pain in my back. Hopefully I'll find other recordings. Love you guys ❤ If I had a chance would give a big Brazilian hug . Blessings!!
