Introduction

Broadcaster Fiona Phillips reveals her diagnosis, and we’re joined by experts who help us understand the condition.

BBC medical editor Fergus Walsh, and professor of clinical neurology Paresh Malhotra explain how common it is, and the drugs that could help us cope with it in the future.

And Karen White, whose dad was diagnosed with the condition in 2017, tells us what it’s like to care for a person with it.
