Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that primarily affects a person’s movement. Coping with or caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s can be very challenging, but you are not alone. Parkinson’s is common, affecting nearly 1 million Americans. Sharing your own experiences about managing or caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s or learning more about other caregivers’ experiences, the Caregiving Network Parkinson’s support group will enable you to connect with actual people who experience the same daily challenges.
