A new approach
for Parkinson!
Each of us experiences a degenerative condition called aging, but most 70-year-olds don’t feel limited by a reduced ability to do certain things. With Parkinson’s, accepting and adapting to this reality is more difficult, because people are less prepared to face it. However, one must get used to it and, just like with aging, accept the fact that we are constantly changing.
Healthcare services in Europe are not always on our side. A diagnosis is made, a pack of pills is prescribed, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled for the following year. It’s a psychological shock, poorly understood, that affects both the patient and their family. Questions naturally arise: “What are we supposed to do? What’s going to happen?”

According to a well-known study (the Parkinson’s Outcomes Project), the primary factors that destroy the quality of life for a person with Parkinson’s are apathy and depression.

Reduces symptoms by 40%

Slows the progression

Improves your life and
that of your family
It’s not just medication that changes the life
of a person with depression,
all four elements need
to carry equal weight.
It’s not surprising that over 50% of people with Parkinson’s are clinically depressed, and that the vast majority tend to withdraw into themselves rather than seek help. The sad truth about Parkinson’s is the widespread misinformation.
It would be a completely different story if people were told: “It’s possible to reduce symptoms by up to 40%; you can slow the progression, and your life will become more meaningful—if you make the right choices.”
Some people are reluctant to admit they have Parkinson’s, almost as if they’re afraid of being seen as different or weaker. And yet, even a Paralympic athlete is applauded—because they chose to fight. Anyone who faces adversity with determination is stronger!
Words like “Parkinson’s made me a better person” or “Parkinson was an opportunity” make little sense at the moment of diagnosis.
According to a well-known study (the Parkinson’s Outcomes Project), the primary factors that undermine the quality of life for someone with Parkinson’s are apathy and depression—not the well-known motor symptoms. This point is essential in learning how to live with Parkinson’s.
We often meet families devastated by Parkinson’s, and week after week we explain that Parkinson’s can lead to a change that can strengthen them and offer new opportunities. Parkinson’s doesn’t destroy our lives, but it does impose limits to which we must adapt.
Our therapeutic approach is based on the concept of four key pillars for maintaining a good quality of life. Medication is naturally at the center, but a house with only one wall certainly can’t support the roof. It’s not just the drugs that change the life of a person with depression— all four elements need to carry equal weight.
If we want to learn a foreign language, one hour a week isn’t enough. Two weeks of full immersion would have a much greater impact. We’d get even more by applying what we’ve learned daily and speaking that language every day for the rest of our lives. It’s the same with Parkinson’s.
