Summary
This House Resolution expresses strong support for designating May 2025 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month" . Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is an aggressive, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 30,000 Americans, causing severe cognitive, motor, and speech impairments, and significantly reducing quality of life and life expectancy. Distinct from Parkinson's disease, PSP is often misdiagnosed and currently has no known cure or disease-modifying treatments. The resolution highlights the urgent need for greater public awareness, additional research, and enhanced support services for patients and their thousands of family caregivers. By establishing an awareness month, it seeks to benefit patients, families, and healthcare professionals, while also bolstering efforts to reduce diagnostic delays, improve access to proper care, and ultimately find better treatments and a cure for this devastating condition.
