Be Involved
As soon as a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is made, caregivers should be involved in the treatment immediately. It is recommended to attend any appointments with the doctors with the affected people. This may provide helpful information, such as the progression of the disease, responses to treatments, and possible side effects. When the condition progresses over time, dementia would worsen memory. As a result, caregivers may get advice from doctors and remind the affected people of any instructions. The role of caregivers is particularly important during this time to follow the treatment plan. [4]
