Gaming with Parkinson's

Thomas is 18, and was diagnosed with Parkinson's 3 years ago. 

He shares how gaming helps with his symptoms:

"I got my first console aged 10, and haven't stopped gaming since. It helps me relax and escape from the Parkinson’s symptoms I experience every day.

"I find it hard to socialise in real life, but the gaming community gives me the opportunity and confidence to overcome this."
