No, Sorry Billy, what I'm getting my statistics out of is a mortality table. I think you'd have to have some kind of Doctor's journals for that kind of information. They did list accidental deaths however. BTW, I think your Like, and eh, and Don's I.Y.Q. are delightful and they do make me smile whenever I read them. On your question about would being happy help a PWP, In 9 years I have never suffered with Depression, Stress yes, but not the old bone chilling depression which seems to affect a lot of Parkies. I'm lucky that I have a job which has a lot of humor in it. I don't know it any of this answers your questions, but I hope it helps.
