Abstract Young Onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) is defined as Parkinson's disease diagnosed between the ages of 21 and 40 years. Problems faced by this group are different from those faced by older subjects because they face decades with the illness. This article reviews current literature and offers suggestions for intervention when appropriate and practical suggestions in the areas of drug treatment, rehabilitation, nutrition, sexuality, pregnancy, menstruation and menopause. The suggestions are not exclusively restricted to the management of YOPD, but emphasis is placed on items where people with YOPD have either had particular difficulties or where they can proactively self-manage their illness.
