pd and cd and suicide


hi all

while there may be a bio-neuro-chemical link
between pd [parkinson's disease] and cd [clinical depression]
i believe that pd is not the cause of parkies ending their own lives

i believe that cd is directly responsible for suicide

i also think that the initial panic and terror reaction
to diagnosis of any incurable, degenerative neurologic disorder
would be cause for the emotional trauma which can trigger cd
