Anxiety
Another early Parkinson’s disease symptom that often precedes physical symptoms is anxiety. Anxiety is not merely a reaction to the diagnosis of the disease. Instead, it is part of the condition itself, resulting from changes in the patient’s brain chemistry. These constant feelings of worry can often result in social reclusion and even anxiety attacks. Studies have suggested that certain activities can help manage anxiety and improve overall emotional well-being. These activities include regular exercise, meditation, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
