The “practical handbooks for carers” collection is aimed at families and those involved in the everyday life of a person affected by a long-term disease. These handbooks were designed to inform and support family and friends at each stage of the illness. They are written in a clear and accessible language and feature practical information, witness accounts and useful addresses.

Parkinson’s disease is a complex and subtle neurological disease. Symptoms are difficult to understand, and often generate communication problems or even conflicts with nearest and dearest. All questions you are faced with as a patient or carer are addressed in this book with clear and practical answers. Learning to understand the illness and its disorders, the different treatment possibilities and how to use them can improve the quality of life of the entire family.

This handbook is aimed at patients and carers. The authors have drawn up a general and practical overview to better understand Parkinson’s disease and its often puzzling symptoms. It provides patients and carers with the information and facts they need at each stage of the illness:

▪ To better live with the illness and manage everyday life

▪ To understand the effects of the illness and how these can be remedied

▪ To create an environment around the person affected that enables him/her to react effectively at each stage of the illness.
