You may experience a range of mental health issues alongside your physical Parkinson’s symptoms.
These can range from depression and anxiety to hallucinations, memory problems and dementia. However, practising mindfulness can help with mental health symptoms - we’ve developed a series of videos and an audio session to guide you through some basic mindfulness techniques. Please visit the Parkinson’s UK website for more information and support on mental health https://bit.ly/2SVI5g1
