Caption: On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s shed light on the non-motor symptoms of #dystonia that often remain in the shadows. Research shows that those with #dystonia are at a higher risk for mental health struggles, specifically depression and anxiety. Beyond the physical challenges, the non-motor symptoms such as chronic pain, sleep disturbances and social stigma can take a toll on many individuals with dystonia.💙
