Denial

A family member is displaying symptoms of Parkinson's disease. His voice is becoming very quiet - dysphonia? His gait is hunched, similar to a kyphosis. Urinary incontinence occurs every couple of days. Fine tremor is present in his hands, and his head shakes. He has reduced facial expression and had a fall last week in the street. The gentleman will not acknowledge these symptoms or seek help or a diagnosis.
