Parkinson’s can be so depressing.

[@ParkinsonDotOrg]

We're here for you, Theodore. 🩵 Research estimates that at least 50% of people with PD will experience some form of depression. Just as exercise is key to living well with Parkinson’s, maintaining emotional health is essential to your physical health.
We have more information on emotional and mental health in PD here: www.parkinson.org/living-with-parkinsons/emotional-mental-health
