Psychotherapy at the Parkinson’s Disease Clinic
Understandably, patients and their families often react with a feeling of insecurity when diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. For some patients it is difficult to motivate themselves to deal with everyday life, sometimes they may even withdraw from family and friends. Psychological guidance and support can help the patient as well as the family in dealing with this difficult situation, activating resources and opening up new situations.
