Parkinson's Disease:- Dr Rick Helmich "Managing Stress with Parkinson's Disease"

We are delighted to bring you Dr. Rick Helmich on the topic of "Managing stress with Parkinson's"
Dr. Rick Helmich was recommended to us by Prof Bas Bloem, who considers Rick to be the leading authority in this field. Rick will be discussing stress (both acute and chronic) and the effect that this has on people with Parkinson's disease.
Rick's passion is to understand the cerebral mechanisms that lead to neurological diseases and use these insights to develop new therapies for patients with movement disorders. Rick works as a neurologist and associate professor specialising in Parkinson’s disease and tremor disorders at the Radboud University Medical Centre (with Prof Bas Bloem) and at the Donders Institute, both in the Netherlands.
Rick is very much inspired by clinical observations in patients and uses neuroimaging and neurophysiology to understand the underlying mechanisms. He is particularly intrigued by the profound effects of psychological stress on many neurological movement disorders, by the way patients can compensate for brain dysfunction, and by the different ways in which tremor can manifest itself.
Rick discusses:-
1) What is stress?
2) Can stress cause Parkinson's?
3) How does stress influence Parkinson's?
4)What can we do about it?

Another fantastic talk. Wish I hadn’t missed it.
This last year has been a very stressful one. Trying to sell my house and working in IT for a new unsupportive boss.
I could normally tell my tremor to go away but as work became more stressful, I have been less able to control the tremor. I think like many who work, I now have chronic stress.
Exercise definitely helps, but I think it’s really import to recognise when you are in a situation that causes chronic stress. I would say as a frog, why would you remain in a cauldron of boiling water when the cauldron next to it contains cool water.
I do meditate a little but I don’t think this helps with chronic stress. I think dealing with chronic stress requires taking action to remove the cause of the stress.
