Behavioural and cognitive symptoms

This section explains the mental, behavioural and cognitive symptoms of Parkinson's.

You may experience changes in behaviour or your mental health alongside your physical Parkinson's symptoms.

People with Parkinson's regularly tell us that they feel these behavioural or cognitive symptoms make their physical symptoms worse, and recent research has proven this.

That's why it's important to talk to your GP, specialist or Parkinson's nurse about all of your symptoms, whether physical or mental.
