Neuro Talk: Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease (EOPD)

Описание: Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease (EOPD), also referred to as young-onset
Parkinson’s, occurs in people under the age of 50 and affects about 4% of the one million people living with Parkinson’s in the U.S. While the symptoms are similar to late or typical-onset PD, such as tremors, stiffness and slowed movement, EOPD can progress more slowly and involve different forms of treatment.

James Beck, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of the Parkinson’s Foundation discusses the unique challenges that people living with EOPD often face, from balancing careers and family responsibilities to navigating long-term planning. Dr. Beck also highlights how EOPD differs from typical or late-onset Parkinson’s and offers practical strategies to help people with EOPD maintain a high quality of life through tailored treatment, regular exercise and a strong support network.
