People with Parkinson’s often experience social isolation, depression, and anxiety. In this presentation we learn about social prescribing from Dr. Indu Subramanian, a Clinical Professor at UCLA. Dr. Subramanian will help us understand the science behind how vital social interaction is for improving mood, reducing feelings of loneliness, and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with PD.
Dr. Subramanian is board certified in integrative medicine. She received her medical degree from the University of Toronto, Canada. She did her neurology residency and movement disorders fellowship training at UCLA. Dr. Subramanian has stayed on at UCLA and is now a clinical professor of neurology. She’s passionate about studying palliative care and the effects of loneliness on people living with Parkinson’s.
