I was wondering if early features of other nerve degeneration diseases include psych symptoms.

I hate to see a HD diagnosis under every tree, but a friend has a husband whose personality change sounds like the ones here...only a history of parkinsons in the family.

Apple,

I have a friend who was just diagnosed with PD so I just googled it.......kind of how I found this place. I was surprised to find that there are some similarities in symptoms including some psych symptoms.

Best to you,
Laura

I think the parkinson's breakdown takes place towards the end of the disease process.
