内容説明

In recent years, new treatments have vastly improved the lives of people with Parkinson's disease by substantially reducing the occurrence of symptoms and significantly delaying the onset of disabilities. This guide offers ways to help maintain a good quality of life while living with Parkinson's disease. The book helps readers to understand the disorder and offers guidelines for how to work in partnership with a physician to develop effective coping skills and make educated choices when considering the array of treatment options. Written by leading authorities on movement and neurological disorders, the book provides up-to-date information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and management of Parkinson's disease to help people cope with medical, emotional and practical challenges. Texts, illustrations and tables offer detailed information on the use of medications as well as on diet, exercise, complementary therapies, and surgery. Topics include: symptoms of Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders; a Q&A section addressing the most commonly asked questions; practical issues of insurance, employment, healthcare choices and coping; and information on medications and side effects.
