What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition characterized by the gradual deterioration of parts of the brain over many years. According to Parkinson’s UK, there are approximately 145,000 people living with Parkinson’s in the UK, making it the fastest-growing neurological condition globally.
Parkinson’s develops when dopamine-producing cells in the brain cease to function and are lost over time. As the brain becomes unable to produce sufficient dopamine to control movement effectively, symptoms begin to manifest.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease
Many individuals may experience symptoms for a considerable period before receiving a medical diagnosis.
The three primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:
– Slow movement
– Involuntary shaking of specific body parts (tremors)
– Stiff and inflexible muscles
There are more than 40 symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, and it affects each person differently. Additional physical and psychological symptoms may include:
– Sleep disturbances
– Mild cognitive impairment
– Balance issues
– Urinary problems or constipation
– Loss of the sense of smell
– Difficulty swallowing, chewing, and speaking
– Depression and anxiety
