'Given the burdens tat Parkinson's disease can impose, we hope that this eBook will provide doctors, nurses and therapists with the latest information in order to improve as much as possible the lives of patients with Parkinson's disease and related disorders. We believe the eBook is the best of its kind because it looks at the 'holistic' care of patients with Parkinson's. Most books focus on drug therapy, genetic research or treatment for motor symptoms. Yet an overwhelming body of evidence and patient testimony underlines the importance of non-motor symptoms, the need for multidisciplinary care and the use of tools that empower patients. In Fast Facts: Parkinson's Disease, we address all of these aspects in an effort to provide a truly useful and unique resource...'
