During our January webinar, “Parkinson’s Psychosis: Hallucinations and Delusions,” Dr. Alison Dixon discussed causes, triggers and management & communication strategies for hallucinations and delusions. We also explored how Parkinson's psychosis can impact the mental health of both the person with Parkinson's and their care partners, potentially leading to withdrawal from support networks and, for some, affecting whether and how they seek medical care. We heard from Nini Huang about the challenges of caring for two parents living with Parkinson’s and her mother’s episodes of delusions, and management strategies they use to stay safe and connected as a family.
