@ParkinsonDotOrg @ParkinsonsUK the data on the risk factors (ie who is more at risk) of Impulse Control Disorders doesn't stand up to scrutiny and is insufficient to draw conclusions. These may be people more likely to report ICD, but not to experience it (1/2)
@ParkinsonDotOrg @ParkinsonsUK But the behavioral science is clear - people outside of these risk factors will assume it won't happen to them. Imagining an ICD is difficult enough. You need to be clear this can happen to anyone, and does - often, and destroying lives 2/2
Dopamine-agonist medications cause serious psychiatric side-effects in (at least) 1 in 6 patients. Yeah drug companies don't tell you that #Impulsive #dopamine #dopamineagonist
Imagine you're 10x hornier than you've ever been and have lost the ability to assess, filter and reject thoughts and impulses. How's your day gone so far? #Impulsive #dopamine #dopamineagonist

Regarding that garbled Curtice explanation of the exit poll model on t'BBC, why don't they just publish the data and the analysis scripts?
