Parkinson’s disease patients face myriad symptoms, including those affecting the motor system and mobility function and those presenting as non-motor symptoms. Among the non-motor symptoms, issues affecting the cognitive, neuropsychiatric and autonomic systems, as well as sleep, are common. This web seminar will present an overview of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, followed by a presentation of the under-recognized skin issues in Parkinson’s disease.
