Dopamine discovery: Brain chemical’s role in social understanding offers new hope for treatments

[Farooqji]

study will hopefully pave the way for future studies aiming at the development of new therapeutic interventions for people who find it hard to understand others. Besides people with Parkinson’s and schizophrenia, this might be beneficial for a range of other conditions affected by dopamine imbalances, such as Huntington’s disease or Tourette’s syndrome.

Are you saying the folks with PD find it hard to understand others?

[Esperanto]

It is actually remarkable that you wonder about that, gomelgo. The last contribution Vocabulary from Gymsack was a beautiful example of this, but it also shows that 'healthy' people can have just as much trouble 'reading' PWP. This leads to a lot of misunderstandings on both sides, which can be particularly challenging in relationships. Strangely enough, not much is written about this at HU, even though the feeling of 'not being understood' has been constantly lingering for me now. It also explains the misunderstandings that arose even years before the diagnosis. Of course, making it discussable helps, but it’s difficult because it’s not just about words; it’s more about a glance, an intonation, response speed, and timing.
