Parkinson’s is a lifelong disease that can affect you emotionally as well as physically. Following types of counseling can help with depression and other mental health problems.
- Crisis intervention counseling can help you deal with a new diagnosis or other emergencies.
- Individual counseling lets you talk one-on-one with a counselor to work through your thinking habits and behaviors. It may help with depression, anxiety, or other problems that are personal.
- Family therapy can help you and your loved ones adjust to your disease and to handle changes in your daily lives.
- Group therapy lets you talk about your problems with others, some of whom may be going through the same thing.
- Residential treatment is when you live in a treatment center, including hospitals or clinics. You usually will get daily counseling and join group therapy.
- Self-help and support groups. These include a network of people with similar problems. These groups usually meet regularly without a therapist or counselor.
