Synopsis

In recent years, new treatments have vastly improved the lives of people with Parkinson's disease, substantially reducing symptoms and significantly delaying disability. Maintaining good quality of life with Parkinson's disease means understanding the disorder, developing effective coping skills, and making educated choices among an array of treatment options. Written by leading authorities on movement and neurological disorders, this comprehensive book provides information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and management of Parkinson's disease to help people cope with medical, emotional and practical challenges. Texts, illustrations and tables provide detailed information on the use of medications as well as diet, exercise, and complementary therapies and surgery. Topics covered include: symptoms of Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders; a questions-and-answers section addressing the most commonly-asked questions; drug treatments; diet, exercise and complementary therapies; new surgical therapies; the practical issues of insurance, employment, health care choices, and coping; and information on medication side effects.
