Getting a diagnosis of Parkinson’s affects everyone differently. Some people feel shocked or confused. Others feel angry or anxious. Some people feel relieved to have an explanation for their symptoms.
No matter how you are feeling, we're here for you. We have a range of newly diagnosed resources to support you and your family, friends and others close to you.
You may also find it helpful if someone you know has been diagnosed. We have more information on supporting someone with Parkinson's below.
