Living with the Unknown: Intolerance of Uncertainty in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by pervasive uncertainty due to fluctuating motor and non‐motor symptoms, variable treatment response, and an unpredictable clinical course. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU), a tendency to perceive ambiguity as threatening and respond with worry, avoidance, or decisional paralysis, may be ...
