Annelien and Richelle delve into a topic that is often overlooked, but holds great importance for them as female Parkinson's Disease advocates. They shed light on how Parkinson's impacts a woman's life, focusing on the various hormonal stages and how they can affect symptoms and the effectiveness of medication. They bring attention to the challenges of coping with a Parkinson's diagnosis in the face of stigma. Moreover, they discuss the significance of considering sex and gender in treatment and research, emphasising the need for women to advocate for themselves in order to improve their care and raise awareness among other women.
