PD is enough to depress anyone. In early stages I thought about suicide, but figured if I botched it I could end up even worse. Plus I'm a coward. Clinical depression and PD is just too much to endure. DBS is being used for clinical depression as well as tremor. My maternal aunt was bi-polar and attempted suicide several times, it was awful manic/depression was like being two different people. her brother had epilepsy, sister Alzheimer's, my mother trigeminal neuralgia, and their father Parkinson's. There is definitely a brain problem in my family. -----Original Message----- From: Nic Marais Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 10:29 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Parkinsons andd Depression http://nwpf.org/wellness-center/lifestyle/emotional-cognitive-wellbeing/depression-anxiety/ Just read that Robin Williams had early stage Parkinson's disease...
