Cognitive changes in Atypical Parkinson's

I just watched this presentation by an Australian neuropsychiatrist (about 45 minutes), and it is very helpful!

She says adynamia (loss of drive and initiative) is the #1 issue.  For MSA she also talks about rigidity (loss of flexibility of thinking).   For all the atypical Parkinson’s she give a list of features:

• Reduced insight
• Mental inflexibility
• Can’t wait, narrow focus
• Reduced empathy
• Lack of appropriate concern (for example about the future progression of the disease)

That's such an accurate list of my frustrations.
