Parkinson's disease is a common neurological disease that mainly affects patients' ability to move, including symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and unsteady steps. The cause of the disease is not fully understood but is closely linked to the loss of dopamine neurons in the brain. Although Parkinson's disease does not directly cause death, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients and brings them tremendous psychological pressure.


Loneliness is a common emotional experience that can affect people's mental health and social abilities. For people with Parkinson's disease, they may feel more alone and helpless because their condition may make them feel isolated from the outside world.


Neurology is a department that specializes in neurological diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and many other diseases. Neurologists will develop appropriate treatment plans based on the patient's specific condition to alleviate the patient's symptoms as much as possible and improve their quality of life.


People with Parkinson's disease often require long-term rehabilitation at home, which can leave them feeling even more isolated and helpless. Neurologists can provide them with professional guidance and advice to help them better cope with emotional problems and alleviate loneliness.


For example, neurologists can stay in touch with patients through regular phone visits or video calls, understand their medical conditions and psychological conditions, and provide them with professional advice and support. In addition, doctors can also provide relevant training to patients’ families so that they can better care for and accompany patients.


Although Parkinson's disease brings a lot of pain and inconvenience to patients, it is not a terminal disease. With the joint efforts of neurologists and patients, we can effectively relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. For those suffering from Parkinson's disease, maintaining close contact with family, friends and doctors can effectively alleviate loneliness and helplessness, and enhance their confidence and courage to overcome the disease.
