Demoralization is a sense of profound hopelessness and loss of motivation or purpose that is often misclassified as depression or apathy. In Parkinson's, demoralization can have a profound impact on quality of life, making additional research to clarify diagnostic criteria and evidence-based treatments a necessity. Learn directly from two experts, Indu Subramanian, MD and Bradley McDaniels, PhD, who co-authored a recent study on demoralization in idiopathic Parkinson's. Join us to discover their findings, as well as their recommendations for discussing demoralization with your doctor. Indu Subramanian, MD is a Movement Disorder Specialist practicing at UCLA Neurological Services and is Director of the Southwest VA Medical Center Parkinson’s Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (PADRECC) in Los Angeles, California.

Perspectives from patients, care partners, and neurologists Research has shown that families impacted by Parkinson's disease benefit from proactive guidance around disease progression, but many don't receive this and enter the later stages without vital emotional and practical preparations.

Discover her initial findings and how they could be applied in your life and community!
