I dont even know what to say to this mans LETTER. Read this about Parkinson which Robin Williams had and the connection to Parkinson and Depression: Everybody with Parkinson’s is all of a sudden examining themselves,” said Dr. Steven Stein, a Minneapolis neurologist. “I have received many phone calls from patients who are sort of freaking out about, ‘Is this going to happen to me?’” The connection to depression is far more complicated than patients growing despondent over a Parkinson’s diagnosis — though doctors said that frequently occurs. Parkinson’s impact on movement and thinking skills comes from the gradual loss of dopamine, a chemical necessary for communication among brain cells that also triggers feelings of happiness. “Dopamine is sort of a feel-good neurotransmitter,” Stein said. “It’s involved with our sense of enjoyment, our sense of pleasure. It would be surprising that anything that could disrupt those pathways wouldn’t contribute to depression and anxiety as well.” More HERE:startribune/lifestyle/health/272090271.html
