Hi Lenny, Its hard to say if your personality changes are caused by the PD. Medication might be a factor as well as adjustment issues related to the disease. I wonder if you've spoken with your physician about these changes. I would wish to rule out other medical possibilities as well as consideration of the medication. It might be beneficial to find a counselor to help you come to terms with the challenges and changes you'll face as you live with PD.
