Nigel, I too think there is some connection between PD and emotional stress. I had a series of events that occurred at about the same time that PD manifested itself in my life. They were: 1. Divorced my first wife 2. Filed Bankruptcy and had $1,000,000 IRS tax liens filed 3. My 21 year old son took his own life and I moved to another state, away from 1st. family 4. Second wife divorced me 5. Lost several jobs because companies I was working for went broke or were bought out by other companies- five different times ( first possible symptoms of PD appeared - spells of dizziness - drooling, slowness in gait) 6. 2 more moves to other cities to find employment 7. Diagnosed PD (5 years ago) 8. Forced to file for Social Security Retirement because of inability to work more than a couple of hours per day.
