Diagnosis Parkinson's Disease: You Are Not Alone (Video)

 |
Diagnosis Parkinson's Disease: You Are Not Alone is a 25-minute DVD/video that was created to provide some comfort and encouragement for a person who has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
It includes testimonials from people with Parkinson's on how they learned to cope and live with the diagnosis, scientific and medical information from healthcare experts and helpful tips and resources. It is often paired with a companion booklet of the same name. Both were created when people with Parkinson's, caregivers and doctor alike, expressed that although Parkinson's can be a devastating diagnosis, people need a place to turn and knowledge of where to find resources.
The video has been honored by the Communications Award with an 'Award of Distinction.' It is available in DVD, VHS and PAL formats.
The production of the Diagnosis Parkinson's Disease: You Are Not Alone video/print package was supported through an educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline.

"This video and it's accompanying brochure are a message of hope for patients and families dealing with the new diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. They cover the gamut of patients emotions and needs, placing them in the context of the scientific advances that offer hope for a maintained quality of life and an eventual cure." Christopher G.
