Is it easy to find a partner and/or maintain relationship when you have Progressive Supranuclear Palsy?
Relationships and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: real patients share how diagnosis affected dating and partnership.
This is difficult to answer. I personally would not initiate a new serious relationship knowing what was coming down the road. However, If a person has a loving committed partner, a relationship can be maintained in the early stages, but it will be increasingly difficult. It is very difficult to watch someone with PSP decline. Besides their progressive physical limitations their personality changes. My mother was often detached an depressed. Eventually the partner becomes less partner more caretaker.. My father eventually had to turn over care taking to a professional. It was very painfully lonely for both of them. It is extremely challenging,

Hard to find a partner , since their motivations, feelings , are decreased, but to keep your partner and family is very possible thanks to the love and the gift of family is immense.
