Do All People With Parkinson's Disease Get Dementia?
About this episode
Do all people with Parkinson's disease get dementia? And what exactly is the difference between Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia? 🤔 In today's episode, I'm here to clear up the confusion and break down some commonly misunderstood terms, including Parkinsonism, Parkinson's disease, and Parkinson's disease dementia.
We'll talk about the unique symptoms of Parkinson's disease dementia, such as memory issues, mood changes, and how they differ from Alzheimer's. I'll also share a diagnostic "secret" to help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease dementia and Lewy body dementia. Whether you're caring for someone with Parkinson's or you're just curious about how dementia affects Parkinson's patients, this video is for you. 🌟
