Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects everyone differently. While most people are aware of the changes the condition can have on physical movement, not everyone understands that PD can also impact personality and behavior.
This quiz is designed to help you assess whether PD might be prompting behavioral changes in you or someone you care about who has the condition. From there, you can determine if it’s time to have a conversation with your health care team about adopting new strategies to manage these changes.
