Approximately 50-60% of people living with Parkinson’s experience varying levels of depression and anxiety. It’s important to know the difference between these common mood disorders so you can accurately explain how you’re feeling to your doctor and get the care you need. During this webinar, Roseanne Dobkin, PhD, will discuss depression, anxiety, and apathy; the causes and treatments of them; and much more. You will also have the chance to ask Dr. Dobkin your questions. To register for the webinar, click here.
