Anxiety and depression with Parkinson’s

First off, I am not a doctor, and I only speak from my experiences. It seems you may be letting your stress and anxiety take full control, which supercharges PD. I recommend taking a day or two off from your job and/or your commitments and just rest. Watch movies, read books, but don't do anything stressful if you can help it (like drive a car, make an appointment on time, etc.) As you rest, you should find that your medicine impact becomes stronger because you don't have all that stress blocking the drug's impact. You want to get to a point where you . This might require back and forth with a neurologist. At understand what impact the drugs have on you without any other variables such as stress interfering.

There is a lot more I can write, but let me stop there for now and see what you think of this. Or if it is even possible to have some extended downtime. In order to counteract your downward spiral, you need to fight back by resting and removing stress. PD doesn't mot react well with trying to push through.

If you are newly diagnosed anxiety and depression is not uncommon. It takes time for medication to take effect and to get the right balance of medication. I was taking taekwondo when I was diagnosed and found it was a life saver in that when I was on thought about. This was my stress reliever. Kickboxing is good. Any exercises that demand your full attention for the time you are doing them help. I also am not a doctor and I advocate having a good neurologist that you are comfortable talking to.
