Living with Parkinson's disease can be challenging, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Acknowledge Your Feelings**: It's normal to experience a range of emotions such as frustration, sadness, and anxiety. Acknowledge these feelings rather than suppress them. 2. **Seek Support**: Connecting with support groups, whether in-person or online, can provide a sense of community and understanding. Speaking with others who share similar experiences can be incredibly validating. 3. **Professional Help**: Don't hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals. Therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists can offer strategies to manage stress, depression, and anxiety. 4. **Stay Active**: Physical exercise is beneficial not only for managing Parkinson's symptoms but also for improving mood and reducing anxiety. Activities like walking, swimming, or yoga can be particularly helpful. 5. **Mindfulness and Relaxation**: Practices such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation can help manage stress and improve mental well-being. 6. **Healthy Lifestyle**: Eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated are fundamental for both physical and mental health. 7. **Medication Management**: Ensure that you are following your treatment plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Some medications can also affect mood, so communicate any concerns with your doctor. 8. **Stay Engaged**: Engage in hobbies and activities that bring you joy and a sense of purpose. Staying mentally active can be a good distraction and help maintain cognitive function. 9. **Educate Yourself**: Understanding Parkinson's disease and its potential impact on mental health can empower you to take proactive steps in managing both. 10. **Communicate**: Keep open lines of communication with family and friends. Let them know how you are feeling and what they can do to support you. Living with Parkinson’s is a journey that affects both the body and the mind. Taking a holistic approach to your well-being can help you manage the disease more effectively and maintain a better quality of life.

The governor's office of the State of Indiana recognized our founders with the State's highest award, Sagamore of the Wabash.

Because Scott had an idea, and Kristy and Chris worked to deliver on that idea, hundreds of thousands of people today Fight Back against PD.
