Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. Could you please tell me what to pay attention to with late-stage Parkinson's disease?Doctor's answer:
Parkinson's treatment is divided into physical treatment, dietary treatment, and psychological therapy. Although psychological therapy is not the primary focus, it is essential throughout the entire treatment process. This is because when family members care for patients, they often experience impatience, which can make the patients feel more depressed. In such cases, family members should offer support and encouragement, helping patients to adopt a positive mindset to face Parkinson's disease. It is important to motivate patients to engage in physical exercises and keep their bodies active. Staying at home all day can lead to joint stiffness and gradual physical decline.
