Understanding how people with Parkinson’s manage their emotions

Emotion is part of daily life and the way we respond to our emotions impacts our mental health and wellbeing. Researchers at the University of Reading want to understand how people with Parkinson’s manage their emotions and how this impacts their wellbeing and quality of life.

They are also interested in the strategies people with Parkinson’s use to cope with their emotions.
