--=====================_30606524==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Is rage a common symptom of PD? If so, is the source psychological or physical? Is the source frustration or from something in our physical brain? I believe frustration. My episodes of rage began before my diagnosis and medication, so I do not suspect that it is drug-induced. But it is not drug-relieved, either. I believe that I control it well. But perhaps some of you can tell me if it gets worse with increasing PD symptoms. I have yet to have an outburst at work. But it's coming. Since they are not yet aware of my PD, eyebrows will be raised. My breakthrough was in recognizing that my feelings of rage were usually from within myself, and not caused by my wife or colleagues. My biggest problem now is determining whether my rage is justified. Sometimes anger is justified. And useful. I would like to learn how others have dealt with this problem. You are great resource. Better, in many ways, than the physicians. You've been there.
