"The public should be aware this is a potential problem. Physicians should be aware this is a potential problem," says Dr. Mark Guttman, the Director of the Centre for Movement Disorders in Markham, Ont., and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He believes that about 30 of his more than 1,200 Parkinson's patients have this impulse control problem. Some have lost their homes and their businesses, not to mention hundreds of thousands of dollars. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
