An optimistic guide from an expert author and the world authority on Parkinson's disease. The number of people diagnosed and living with Parkinson's is increasing, according to the latest research from Parkinson's UK. They estimate that every year around 145,000 people in the UK are newly diagnosed with the condition - that's around 1 in 350 British adults. And Parkinson's diagnoses are set to rise by nearly a fifth by 2025. The increase is due to a growing and ageing population. The Parkinson's UK analysis suggests that 1 in every 37 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson's in our lifetime.

Presented in a friendly and easy-to-understand way, this book addresses PD related issues and symptoms along with emerging therapies. In each chapter, Dr. Okun offers patients the necessary tools to manage their disease and to ultimately find joy and fulfilment in their lives.
