Hi. Can I ask what the definition of “young” is please? I’m 51 and have just had my first consultation with a Neurologist who informed me that I had “Early-onset Parkinsons”!

Hi @shalfbeast, we hope you’re doing well.

While there isn’t a strict age, people who develop Parkinson’s under the age of 50 are considered to have young onset Parkinson’s.

We have a page about this here: Young onset Parkinson's | Parkinson's UK

If there’s anything you’d like to ask, please remember we’re here on freephone 0808 800 0303 and always happy to talk things through.

Sending our warmest wishes

Hi @shalfbeast, we are not at all strict about the definition of young onset at the podcast club, so please do sign up if you are interested.
