The legendary singer-songwriter has spoken candidly about declining mobility, fatigue, anxiety, depression and apathy—and how making music has helped her continue moving forward.

Singer-songwriter Carly Simon has publicly revealed that she is living with Parkinson’s disease, ending a period of relative silence with a deeply personal account of changes to her movement, energy, motivation and emotional health.

Simon, 83, said she needed time to understand the diagnosis, adjust to its effects and decide how much she was prepared to share publicly. Her disclosure also explains why she has largely remained outside the public eye in recent years.

SYMBYX Biome, Australia’s Red Light Therapy Innovator, is shutting down its operations.

The Advisory Council on Parkinson’s Research, Care and Services is a defining opportunity. It should not simply describe the problem. It should drive the coordinated national action required to prevent disease where possible, improve lives now, accelerate science, and move toward cures.

Ideas about Parkinson’s go in and out of fashion like last year’s mom jeans why? Personalities, funding, timing, who knows. Consistency is hard with Parkinson’s, so many obstacles. Yet somehow I still feel that we are closer than before. That perhaps we can, as a community, help them help us, a little bit better, maybe a lot. I’m not suggesting waiting around for anything, we already have access to a disease modifying therapy, it’s not a pill, but if it was everyone would take it. It’s exercise.
