In this episode, we focus on sialorrhea. Also known as drooling, this is a common symptom experienced by people with Parkinson’s.

UK-based David Bateson, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2015, explains how sialorrhea has impacted his speech, working life and interactions with others.

He is joined by Dr Francesca Morgante, a neurologist based at St George’s, University of London – who has been working with David for several years.

Together, the pair tackle key questions around sialorrhea – and share insights on how to manage it.
