Great book for the newly diagnosed
This book does an excellent job in explaining the disease, and providing coping strategies for PD patients and caregivers as symptoms develop. Especially good for those without a background in healthcare.

amazingly informative
written to be easily understood, i found the book amazingly informative, extremely helpful and, for someone one month post diagnosis, enlightening. i highly recommend this book for anyone who is diagnosed with parkinson's disease (pd), has a loved one diagnosed, or a close friend. the book is easy reading, written in plain english, and one where you don't have to start at the beginning to read. each chapter is clearly identified, but you can open anywhere in the book and start reading. a must read for the pd patient.

The doctor had recommended this book and it is great
I have a friend that has Parkinson's Disease and couldn't find information for my questions. The doctor had recommended this book and it is great. It has explained what is happening and what the patient goes through. It has been really an informative book. I would recommend it to anyone with a loved one or friend or acquaintance dealing with Parkinson's. I'm really glad that I bought this book.

Basic, thorough, an easy read.
If one is faced with Parkinson's, it is nice to have a straightforward concise explanation of the disease. The fact that Dr Lieberman is a respected authority lends credibility to the read. It is sectioned by questions, so one can return to the areas of interest quickly. I recommend it to anyone who is overwhelmed with medical jargon and wants a clear concise review by one of the best in the field.

Encyclopedic
Dr. Lieberman's book was the second this reviewer picked up after receiving the diagnosis of PD. It is packed with information, covering everything from the early symptoms to the late-course disabilities, the whole range of medications, surgeries, exercises, and possible alternative treatments. While the title suggests a bulleted list of Frequently Asked Questions, the book is actually a densely packed treatise of short sections and chapters that can be read together or separately or in any desired order. Some sections are better than others, but all are loaded with whatever information is available. Of course, some of the answers are still missing, awaiting further discoveries.A practical book that can be used as a reference work or a manual to trouble-shoot problems as they arise. The book is easy to read in spite of much technical terminology, which, however, is usually well explained. It's directed not at the patient alone, but also at families and caregivers.Author Lieberman is highly qualified to write this book. Sometimes the writing felt a little rushed, with small lapses of grammar and style, but these did not detract from the valuable storehouse of information. I wouldn't exactly say I enjoyed reading it (who wants to look a chronic, progressive illness in the face?) but I can certainly recommend it. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

When faced with PD this book has about any question & answer you might have.
When coping with PD either yourself or your mate this book helps you understand as well as can be explained. The one thing we have learned is there are no two people alike. What treatment works for one will not work for another or it takes a combination of medicines. It requires a lot of dependance on our Lord!

Great book to help answer Parkinson's questions
This book helped answer just about all of our questions when my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I bought a book for each of our houses. My dad even read through it twice!! Now he has a friend with Parkinson's and we gave him this book to help with his questions.
