Is deep brain stimulation (DBS) only for “late-stage” Parkinson’s? Not always.

That’s one of the biggest misconceptions we hear from patients.

Deciding if DBS is right for you can feel overwhelming—and it should come with clear, honest guidance.

At MIND, we help patients understand:
· What DBS can improve (like tremor and movement)
· What it may not change
· When the timing may be right to consider it

The reality is, there is often a window where DBS can be most effective—and waiting too long may limit the benefit.

Tools like IDecideDBS can help you and your care partners walk through the decision with confidence—so expectations align with outcomes.

Stroke risk isn’t just a concern for older adults. Younger adults are increasingly experiencing strokes, making awareness and prevention more important than ever.

MIND’s Dr. Brandon Vieder was recently featured in an MLive.com article discussing the rise in strokes among adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s, warning signs to watch for, and steps people can take to lower their risk.

“One of the biggest things we’re recognizing is a lot of the classic risk factors for older populations … they’re equally, if not more present, in our younger patients and we probably should be treating them a lot earlier,” said Dr. Vieder.

Knowing the signs and acting quickly can make a critical difference.

Brain tumors don’t always present the way people expect.

Symptoms can vary based on location and may include changes in vision, balance, speech, memory, or seizures.

Recognizing what’s new or unusual—and seeking evaluation when something doesn’t feel right can help ensure the right diagnosis at the right time.

MIND offers advanced imaging, including MRI, to support accurate evaluation.
