Beyond Tremors: Parkinson’s Disease & Whole Person Care

When we think of Parkinson’s, we picture shaking hands and slow movements. But tremor is only part of the story. In this episode of The Buddhi Insight, we look beyond the classic motor symptoms to explore Parkinson’s disease in its entirety. From the historic breakthrough of levodopa and Awakenings to hidden non-motor symptoms like sleep disorders, mood changes, and abulia (the loss of drive to initiate action), we examine how Parkinson’s sits at the intersection of movement, motivation, and mind. Tune in as we uncover why understanding Parkinson’s requires looking past the physical signs and caring for the whole person.
