Now we need to start covering what is CAUSING this TERRIBLE "disease"

[@aelorgames2627]

Can this also have an impact on some having like a really really bad mood....or mood swings? I love my dad but he has these really nasty moods where he is just very very annoyed, highly grumpy stuff like that....or is that part of depression? It is really hard to cope with sadly....

[@FixelInstitute]

We would recommend you (and he) discuss that with your movement disorder neurologist.

My dad has this too... and also apathy, my father also has dementia and doesn’t like the way his life has been impacted , he used to be VERY INDEPENDENT AND HATES THE WAY HE IS NOW IN COMPARISON! I believe this causes him to become very adgitated! I just talk to him about it and let him know it’s ok to ask for help, that he took care of me when I was young and now it’s my turn, this seems to help!

So sad it takes them so long to develop a drug and then when they start using it it is found to help other things ,
