Parkinson’s Anxiety/Mood swings

I was diagnosed with PD 9 years ago and recently have been experiencing more anxiety and mood swings. Has anyone had any luck with a particular medication for this and/or can anyone suggest a particular Psychiatrist that works with PD in the Fort Myers, Fl. area?

  1. Hi I know our community can relate to experiencing anxiety and mood swings. Hopefully they will weigh in with how they have managed these symptoms. It is important to keep in mind everyone is different when it comes to what they find helpful. Have you asked your physician if they have any one they would recommend in your area? They may be a good resource. I included an article on PD and mood changes here - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/symptoms/mood-changes-depression-anxiety. I also included an article written by one of our health advocates and her personal experience with anxiety - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/anxiety-personal-perspective. Please know our community cares and is here for you. Reach out anytime. Kindly, Jessica, Team Member
