      Although Parkinson Disease's (PD) is usually associated with an older patient population, 5%&#xD;
      of patients are diagnosed at age 50 and 30% before 65 years of age. This shows that many&#xD;
      patients with PD have diagnosed during the active study and have long periods of normal&#xD;
      retirement. After the diagnosis of Parkinson's patients, the duration of leaving of&#xD;
      employment vary between 0 and 25 years. It was found that patients' full-time working&#xD;
      capacity decreased by up to 80% and they quitted earlier than the general population. The&#xD;
      disability associated with PD is thought to be a factor in this situation. Nevertheless, the&#xD;
      reasons for early retirement are not fully known and more information is needed on the&#xD;
      specific problems of PD in order for patients to continue their career. The aim of our study&#xD;
      is to examine the impact of Parkinson's disease on retirement and to contribute to Turkey's&#xD;
      data. Patients with PD admitted to the Parkinson's disease outpatient clinic, which is the&#xD;
      biggest clinic of Turkey about neurology, are included in the study. It is planned to meet&#xD;
      with 75 patients on 31/12/2018 and to reach the end of the data collection phase.&#xD;
