A member asked:
My grandfather with parkinson's has to go to hospital. he's really depressed and nervous. what sort of things can i do to help him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let him know : That you love him (bet you already do that). Visit him. See if there are activities that two of you can do together that you both enjoy and that he is still able to do (like playing chess, going for a walk etc). Sometimes older people long to be touched (a hug or holding a hand). Ask him what you can do? Take care.
