How Do I Handle Anger

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Staten Island, NY

I am helping my sister the past week and i understand her frustation when she can't find the right words to ask a question etc. She got really mad and started yelling at me because i didn't know what she wanted to say. There was more anger shown about other stuff. When she swatted me my first instinct was to punch her but of course i didn't. I did get stern with her though.

The anger and snippiness is symptom of Parkinson’s. She’s not mad at you, she’s just mad. Don’t fight with a disease, just walk away. I know it’s hard, but she’s not rational, you are. Talk to her neurologist about it. There may be medication that can help.

Parkinson’s is caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain. It affects everything about you. Including your personality. Therefore, reactions can be way out to f proportion to the situation. Angry outbursts are a fairly common symptom of Parkinson’s.

I have angry outbursts. I can hear myself, but I have no ability to stop myself. After it’s over I end up wondering what it was all about. She’s not mad at you. She’s just mad. Walk away, don’t argue with a disease. Your the rational one. She’s not. Talk to her neurologist to see if there’s any medication that will help.

My sister has Parkinson’s and forgetting her words mid sentence is very frustrating for her.
