Abstract:

Latvia currently does not have a dedicated educational website for patients living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). This absence leaves patients and caregivers without a trusted source of information in Latvian. Many patients I have spoken with describe struggling to find guidance on daily management, medication use, and non-motor symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, or sleep disturbances. Beyond clinical visits, there is little support available, and this gap adds to feelings of isolation and uncertainty.
