Detailed case studies and evidence-based guidance for practical application make 'Fast Facts: Psychosis in Parkinson’s Disease' an invaluable resource for all healthcare professionals responsible for the outpatient care of patients with PD, including neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, psychiatric nurse practitioners, specialist PD nurses and primary care providers.

Although dopaminergic medication is the most effective treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), its long-term use is associated with debilitating motor fluctuations. Patients may not spontaneously seek assistance when fluctuations develop, so strategies need to be put in place to identify and alleviate motor dysfunction. This concise resource will increase readers’ awareness of: • the different types of motor fluctuation, why they occur and how to recognize them • the drugs that can be added to levodopa to reduce fluctuations • advanced and emerging therapies that will help to improve outcomes. No two patients with PD are alike in their disease progression or response to treatment. This 'Fast Facts' title provides the information healthcare professionals need to provide effective individualized care that will improve their patients’ quality of life.

Parkinson's disease, first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is one of the most important disabling conditions of later life. It is estimated to affect one per cent of 70-year-olds, but is also seen in younger people, with ten per cent of cases occurring before the age of 50. Proper care of patients with Parkinson's disease requires many different healthcare professionals to work together as a team and research into parkinsonism continues at an ever-increasing pace. Patients need to be reassured that those involved in their care have access to reliable information and that the treatment and care they receive is the best available. The aim of Fast Facts: Parkinson's Disease is to provide doctors, nurses and therapists with the up-to-date information they require to improve the lives of their patients with Parkinson's disease and its related disorders.
