Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic worsened healthcare access and increased mental health concerns for individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). We surveyed PD patients in rural Eastern North Carolina to understand the pandemic's impact on these individuals. Our study assessed self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression, and used the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 to measure anxiety and depression symptoms. Results showed mild increases in stress, anxiety, and exacerbation of PD symptoms, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to support vulnerable populations during global crises. The study emphasizes the need to develop resources for ongoing care beyond the pandemic for individuals with chronic diseases like PD.
