When reading through the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease,
you frequently see the words, “loss of”
Our challenge – “Depression and anxiety have greatest impact on health status”
We should also focus on uncovering and treating the grief and loss that
may be driving - or related to - depression and anxiety.
The MayoClinicdefines grief as…
“…the natural reaction to loss. Grief is both a universal and a
personal experience. Individual experiences of grief vary and are influenced by the
nature of the loss. Some examples of loss in-clude the death of a loved one, the ending of an important relationship, job loss, loss
through theft or the loss of independence through disability.”
