I wholeheartedly support your interdisciplinary approach to understanding PD. I was diagnosed at 45 and have had success in working with the disease as having 3 dimensions: emotional, spiritual, and of course physical. But with respect to coping, work on the emotional and spiritual have been the most beneficial. I am working on a longer letter to the group in which I explain what I mean and how it has helped.
