  • A Conversation on Parkinson’s-Related Hallucinations and Delusions (Webinar Audio)
    Sep 25 2024

    Parkinson’s disease brings with it many potential symptoms, including hallucinations (seeing things that are not there) and delusions (believing things that are not true). Not everyone will experience these symptoms and not everyone who does will find them bothersome, but it can be a source of uncertainty and concern for people living with the disease. In audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar, our expert panel discusses navigating life with these symptoms and medication and non-medication strategies to manage them.
