Hello, I'd like to add myself to the mailing list, although I already belong to the network. My brother-in-law (Don) is 59 is was diagnosed with PD 8 yrs ago. He has been working as a professorat a university in Boston for 27 years. In January, he had to give up work cause his voice was very soft and he was having problems. Now he has gone down hill very fast, has major behavioral changes, is very depressed and has a flat affect. He forgets easily and can't follow simple directions. My sister doesn't know what to do and is very frustrated and feels like she's ready to give up. She needs help and support (she's 54) and works full time. Is there such a thing as a psychiatrist who specializes inm PD w/ behavior problems. We all come from the Boston area. I don't think that neither Don or my sister are being treated well and Boston is suppose to be the medical capital of the world. Any suggestions out there? She is so on edge with life! I would like to help her. What is Don suppose to do during the day. Should he still be driving? He freezes at night , after 8 PM. Please respond. Is shock treatment at all helpful? Evie
