✨ Newly Diagnosed Seminar with Dr Ghosh ✨

🧬 Every person’s Parkinson’s is unique — and genetics may hold the key to why.
The Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science TONiC Study is uncovering how genes and life experiences shape the way PD affects people differently.

With your support, we can work toward targeted treatments, better care, and empowered patients.

🩺 Common Treatments for Parkinson’s
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to managing Parkinson’s — but there are a range of effective treatments that can help improve quality of life and manage symptoms. Here are five common treatment options:
💊 Prescription Medication – e.g. Levodopa to help manage movement symptoms
🧠 Surgical Treatment – e.g. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for certain cases
🏃 Physical Exercise – e.g. walking, boxing, or tai chi to improve strength and balance
🤝 Allied Health Therapies – e.g. physiotherapy for movement, speech therapy for communication
🥗 Dietary Changes – e.g. increasing fibre for digestion, staying hydrated
Each person’s Parkinson’s journey is different, so treatment plans should be tailored with support from healthcare professionals.
At Parkinson’s WA, we’re here to help you explore the options that work best for you. 💙

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October) — a time to recognise and support those living with conditions that aren’t always seen or understood.

Many people living with Parkinson’s, particularly those diagnosed at a younger age, experience symptoms that are invisible to others yet deeply impact daily life.

What can you do?
✅ Listen with empathy
✅ Believe people’s experiences
✅ Avoid assumptions

You never know what someone is going through — so always choose kindness ❤️

📊 Parkinson’s in WA: The Numbers Behind the Diagnosis
Did you know? It's estimated that around 15,000 people are living with Parkinson’s in Western Australia today - and some sources suggest it could be as high as 25,000 individuals.
🧠 Every day, 4 to 5 new cases of Parkinson’s are diagnosed in WA alone.
These numbers reflect more than statistics - they represent real people, families, and communities impacted by this complex neurological condition. That’s why our work at Parkinson’s WA is more important than ever.
