Please don't feel bad, Yvonne.  It takes an expert to diagnose PD.  In
fact, many neurologists don't do too well either.  I'd suggest your
mother see a 'Movement Disorder Specialist', a neurologist who
specializes, because  there is no laboratory test  for diagnosis, and it
takes about 80% of dopamine before visual symbols are noticed.
Depression frequently accompanies PD, and the patient can be treated
with various pills.
Good luck.
