How Can Poor Memory While Suffering From Parkinson's Disease Be Treated?
My father has Parkinson's Disease. He is becoming forgetful and has difficulty coming up with words when speaking. I understand that dementia is part of this disease. My question is does he have good days and bad days or is he always going to have difficulty?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Neurological symptoms like dementia is part of natural course of disease like Parkinsonism. Although it cannot be cured, it's progess may be delayed by intake of certain antioxidants. Intake of medications containing Vitamin E, Vitamin C, CoQ10, Lipoic acid, Selenium and Zinc could be beneficial in such individuals. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. Regards, Dr.Ashakiran.S.
