PSP: Diagnosis and Management paper in BMJ Journal

[HelenPSPA]

“We wrote the paper so that future diagnosis of PSP is made sooner, and with greater certainty, than is currently the case for many people. The right diagnosis opens the way to many treatments and ways to support people affected by PSP. It’s a complex illness, but there is lots to be done to here and now, to treat the many faces of PSP” Professor James Rowe

Thank you Helen. This article was very helpful and every caretaker of a person with PSP or other similar movement disorders should take the time to read this.

Warm Regards,

Good paper which will be helpful to many on here to be able to share with their care team. Can we have a similar paper on CBS now - it merits more than a couple of side mentions in a paper on PSP!

A good article. I did challenge my mum’s GP sometime after diagnosis as to why her symptoms hadn’t been picked up on earlier. Once you know about PSP the red flags seem quite obvious. He basically said she was probably better off not knowing. I didn’t think too much about it at the time but reading here about the importance of early, accurate diagnosis it does seem like a cop out.

Thanks for this review - very informative. I have shared it with my dad (principal carer) and my mums neurologist and physiotherapist (all in India). Could you suggest something that is written in laymen's language for care givers?
