Parkinson’s is more than just a movement disorder. From sleep and cognition to mood and blood pressure, non-motor symptoms play a huge role in your quality of life.

If you’re noticing changes in your mental or emotional well-being, remember: anxiety and depression are common, and more importantly, they are treatable.
Don't wait! Bring these topics to your neurologist at your next visit. You don't have to navigate the "invisible" side of PD alone.

Timing is everything when it comes to managing Parkinson’s. Taking your medications at the exact scheduled time helps maintain steady dopamine levels, reducing the "off" periods that can disrupt your day.

To get the most out of your treatment plan, keep these four tips in mind:
Stick to the schedule: Take medications on time, every time.
Track your patterns: Note any "on/off" fluctuations or side effects.
Stay updated: Bring a current medication list to every doctor’s visit.
Consult the pros: Always talk to your neurologist before making any changes.

Consistency is key to living well with PD. Learn more and find resources at the link in our bio or visit https://www.parkinsonalabama.com/resource-center
