This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an 8-week online therapy program called 'Empower Your Mind to Embrace Your Life,' designed specifically for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease before age 65. The program uses a type of therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches you practical skills to manage the emotional and physical challenges of living with Parkinson's. Half of participants will receive the therapy program, and half will be followed without any new treatment, so researchers can measure whether the program truly helps.
Young people with Parkinson's often experience depression, pain, fatigue, and other non-motor symptoms that can affect quality of life just as much as movement problems do. While this type of therapy has shown promise for Parkinson's disease, very few studies have tested it, and researchers want to see if delivering it online through a group format is effective and practical for patients.

If you join the therapy group, you'll attend eight weekly sessions delivered online via videoconference, meeting with other people who have young-onset Parkinson's disease. You'll complete assessments at the start, right after the eighth session, and again 3 months later to measure changes in your symptoms and quality of life. If you're in the comparison group, you'll complete the same assessments but won't receive the therapy program during the study.
