A FAMILY'S PERSPECTIVE
Ryan Reynolds and his mom, Tammy, are joined by Dr. Yasar Torres-Yaghi, a board-certified movement disorder specialist who practices at a Parkinson's Center of Excellence, to discuss Ryan's father's hallucinations and delusions. Watch the videos to hear Dr. Yasar Torres-Yaghi explain why early Parkinson's disease (PD) psychosis screening and open conversations are so important.
Letting people with Parkinson's and their caregivers know of the possibility of hallucinations and delusions in a non-stigmatizing way, before such symptoms develop, helps to keep an open dialogue to ensure that if or when they see something, they say something.”
