Dr. Annie Killoran, Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry and the University of Iowa, joins us as we discuss why understanding Parkinson’s Disease stages is helpful for both clinicians and patients. We cover how staging the disease can better help in identifying and delivering targeted therapies as well as how it can aide in the acceptance of the disease and its many and varied characteristics. Dr. Killoran also takes us through general treatment options, touches on current research, and stresses why exercise is a critical component of disease management. This discussion offers a terrific overview of an array of important Parkinson’s topics.
