Feedback on above conference from Paul Zeiger:
The National Parkinson Foundation has made their recent conference available on the web. The talks are GREAT. Dr. Paul Short's presentation on PD and anxiety is a must for everyone with PD and their families. Start from http://www.parkinson.org/ and follow the link to the conference.
Dr. Short has also put up a website that emphasizes living well with PD for families (www.pdfso.org)
Slides related to his talk are under "Resources" on that site.
Happy listening,
Paul Zeiger
