Dear Dr.Okun,
I am gone to research into bipolar and Parkinson's disorders
My experience why ARE the bipolar's medication after side effects SOME OF
THE SYMPTOMS ARE pARKINSON'S DISORDERS'?
Why Bipolar disorders is curable but not the Parkinson's disorders?
THEY ARE THE SAME FAMILY WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENCES?
kindly elaborate
Regards
Bipolar and PD are two completely different diseases.
Interestingly some patients with bipolar can become Parkinsonian from chronic use of dopamine blocking drugs. Sometimes when in the manic phase the PD symptoms improve.
Where they get confused is that they share a lot of the same brain circuitry.
Michael S. Okun, M.D.
