hi all

i thought it interesting that
there is a european definition and an american definition
- makes for tricky discussions!

numbers are not definite
as in pd in general
but i've read that dementia in pd
occurs in from 10% to 33% of all pd cases
[an aside: as compared to clinical depression = 40% to 60%]

another tough fact to absorb
but absorb it we must
if all parkies are to have a voice

when we gain an opportunity to raise awareness about pd
let's remember those who are silent
