Impact of the Graphic Memoir <i>My Degeneration: A Journey Through Parkinson’s</i> on Patients With Parkinson’s Disease: A Mixed Methods Study
Participants who liked the book-the "endorsers"-revealed that it deeply resonated with them and helped them realize they were not alone with the disease. Many commented that Dunlap-Shohl's story was in some ways their story-and that this was both practically and emotionally reassuring. <i>My Degeneration</i> has the potential to benefit patients who appreciate comics, enjoy dark humor, and are not overly pessimistic.
