What has helped you most as a Parkinson’s caregiver?

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well today 😊

Caring for someone with a new Parkinson’s disease diagnosis can feel overwhelming at first, for both the person living with the condition and their loved ones. The early stages often come with a lot of uncertainty, questions, and emotional ups and downs.

If you’ve been a caregiver or supported someone with Parkinson’s, your experience could be incredibly helpful to others who are just beginning this journey.

❓ What advice would you give to someone new to caregiving?

❓ What do you wish someone had told you in the beginning?

❓ What helped you most, emotionally, practically, or medically, in the early stages?
