Joining a support group can be very beneficial for caregivers of people with Parkinson's disease. According to my knowledge base, one member mentioned the importance of support groups with other caretakers, stating, “I see a therapist, which helps, but it’s not the same as talking to another caregiver.”

Here are some tips for caregivers:
- Join a support group: Whether online, like MyParkinsonsTeam, or in-person, sharing experiences can be very helpful.
- Seek individual counseling: If needed, ask your doctor for a referral to a mental health professional or psychotherapist.

Support groups can help you anticipate the challenges of caregiving as the disease progresses.
