thanks for playing! i am actually really more interested in my original question, even if you consider depression to be a symptom, so if anyone out there is still interested in answering, i would be much obliged. just to give a little background, there is a lot of talk about nonmotor symptoms these days, and they are somtimes even referred to as being even more disabling than motor symptoms. well, that is so far from my experience that i had a hard time believing it could be true.

but really i had no idea, since i have such little direct interaction with others with pd, so i thought i would just throw it out there, and lo and behold, i am NOT the center of the universe, and quite a large percentage of folks who have responded have said non motor is worse for them - who knew? well,now i do.

thank you,
