ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Parkinson's disease is characterised by a complex array of motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms are often prioritised for assessment and treatment. Growing evidence highlights the importance of recognising the impact of non-motor symptoms on the person's quality of life.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this article is to increase awareness of the importance of identifying and addressing non-motor symptoms experienced by people living with Parkinson's disease.DISCUSSION:
A vignette developed in collaboration with a person living with Parkinson's disease and his wife provides an 'insider perspective'. Regular assessment and monitoring of non-motor symptoms enable the clinician to support the implementation of effective interventions. Team-based care and connections with Parkinson's support groups are essential to enable the person to live well with Parkinson's disease and provide informal carers with the support and information needed.
