    It is estimated that 50 to 80 percent of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) will develop dementia. It takes about 10 years from the onset of PD to develop dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

    Sherri Woodbridge doesn’t like to think about it, but acknowledges that people with PD be aware of the risk so they can watch out for dementia symptoms. Read more from Sherri here.

    Were you aware of the link between PD and dementia? Do you, like Sherri, prefer not to think about these things?
