Hi Darrel,
Yea, that is one of the more common conditions of PD.
It can affect the *the amygdala,and the immediate areas that control emotions.
Just realize it is not your fault.

Have a look at red light therapy and diet for pd, they show promise? Also listening to music you like can lift your mood.

Hi I am having a problem with my temper and mood swings. I can lose my temper at the drop off a hat with any one at any time. It’s my wife that takes the brunt of my mood swings. I try not to do it but don’t always realise I’m doing it. My wife has a lot to but up with as she has had a Stroke and is not that well her self. As for my Doctors all the can say is speak to the hospital consultant but getting a response from them is hard.
Dose any one suffer the same and what works for you.

Thanks Davesan

Have you spoke to your gp Amitriptyline are really good i take them for nerve pain but thay are actually a anti depression tablet and they have worked for me alot happier. All the best
