Participants will be enrolled at the VA Portland and have a baseline assessment. The
baseline will assess neurological disorders (including Parkinsonism) and current stress. All
participants will attend 10 weeks of mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) through video
feed on the Portland VA campus. During the week prior to the first class and the week after
the last class, participants will complete questionnaires regarding stress, collect saliva
samples, and, for the Parkinson's patient, monitor motor symptoms of PD using diaries and
inertial sensors. A final visit will assess stress, neurological diseases, and Parkinsonism.
