Psychosocial issues in young-onset Parkinson's disease: Current research and challenges
چکیده انگلیسی

Young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) patients have psychosocial issues that create more challenges than for older patients. They are diagnosed during the most productive years of their lives, live longer with the disease, and are at increased risk for non-motor symptoms of PD. This article describes issues that health care professionals may need to address, including anxiety, depression, cognitive disturbances, breakdown of relationships, and employment. These psychosocial problems require as much attention as the medical problems; they negatively impact the emotional stability of both the patient and family, interfering with all relationships. YOPD patients can benefit from a team approach to their treatment.
