The Hidden Anxiety Side Effect Doctors Never Mention

The Hidden Anxiety Side Effect Doctors Never Mention

They told me Parkinson’s would affect my movement. What they didn’t say was how much it would hijack my mind.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about one of the most invisible and misunderstood symptoms of Parkinson’s: anxiety.

This isn’t just stress or “worrying too much.” Anxiety in Parkinson’s is rooted in brain chemistry, and it can hit out of nowhere — racing heart, spiraling thoughts, a body that feels stuck even when my tremors are calm.

I share how anxiety shows up for me, how it’s connected to off times, and the tools I’ve learned to manage it — from tracking symptoms, to breathing exercises, to yes… even peanut M&Ms. Most importantly, I talk about the real game-changer: knowing you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever felt the hidden weight of anxiety with Parkinson’s, this conversation is for you.
