Mashup Score: 21Delivering the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease- setting the stage with hope and compassion - 16 day(s) ago
Delivering a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with care and compassion requires both solid medical expertise and emotional sensitivity as it is devastating for many to receive this news. Clinical guidelines emphasize that a diagnosis of PD should be made by a movement disorders specialist (MDS) [1]. This is primarily based on their expertise in making an accurate diagnosis and to initiate the most appropriate treatment. However [2], in the current medical landscape, access to an MDS is not always possible and the initial suspected diagnosis may be made by other health professionals such as the primary care physician or community neurologist.

Mashup Score: 2Staying hidden: The burden of stigma in PD - 6 month(s) ago
Despite the myriad motor and non-motor challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis, the hidden issue of stigma may be among the most influential factors negatively affecting quality of life. A number of qualitative studies have been published assessing various aspects of stigma in PD, and quantitative studies assert that most people with PD experience stigma during the course of their disease. Stigma is associated with poorer mental and physical health, poorer quality of life, decreased levels of hope, self-esteem and self-efficacy.
