Parkinson’s can change how your loved one acts, which can be really confusing and hard for families. The Martinez family experienced this when their father suddenly became irritable, leading to lots of arguments at home.
Here’s how we helped:
Understand It’s the Disease, Not Them: We explained to the family that these personality changes were due to Parkinson’s, not their father’s true character.
Practice Patience: We taught them to pause before reacting, giving their dad space and showing more understanding.
Respond with Compassion: Instead of arguing, they learned to respond with kindness, focusing on what their father needed in that moment.
The result? Less tension, fewer arguments, and a more peaceful home. Understanding that it’s the disease—not the person—can make all the difference.
