PSP stands for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I suggest that you GOOGLE it. In addition, in Health Unlocked there is a PSP site. This PD site, the majority of people contributing are the actual patients.

thank you so much for this

You are welcome. I hope it is not PSP, but if it is there will be much guidance for you on the PSP site.

I don't understand why you (or your dad) didn't ask the neurologist to explain the diagnosis while you were there.

[Hidden in reply to M_rosew]

the doctor said my dad would need mrı scan...and he said he would discuss with me in detail after the mri scan. however, in the form he wrote psp?

[M_rosew in reply to Hidden]

Ok that makes sense, the Neurologist was addressing another health professional. He noted a possible diagnosis to indicate what area he wants scanned, and what to look for.

Thank you so much for this clarification
