more stress about PD
Was reading Dr. Lieberman's book "Shaking Up Parkinson's" and found this to be interesting- If you are one of the 57 people who made Time magazine's annual cover, your odds of having PD are twenty times that of the general public. Writing in 2002, he muses about some odd manic-depressive process with the mania driving people to overachieve. But Occam's Razor says the stress of over achieving is the better explanation.
