Dearr Group : You're all missing a simple but major fact, depression in PD is like any other of symptoms that hit some people worse. Depression is a natural result of the disease, but it comes with the disease. Don't feel like you're letting everyone down by not being Mr. Rogers every morning. You have a right to be depressed, there is a mourning process to go through when your diagnosed. My doctor once told me don't let being depresssed make you depressed! Hope this helps Bill Harrington 42/ 29/27
