Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. While tremors are a well-known symptom, Parkinson's disease also causes other motor symptoms, including bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity (stiffness of the limbs and trunk), and postural instability (impaired balance and coordination). These motor symptoms result from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in a specific area of the brain called the substantia nigra. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating movement, motivation, and reward.

In addition to motor symptoms, Parkinson's disease can also cause a range of non-motor symptoms, which can significantly impact a person's quality of life. These include cognitive changes (such as problems with memory and attention), mood disorders (like depression and anxiety), sleep disturbances, fatigue, loss of smell (anosmia), constipation, and speech changes (dysarthria). The progression and severity of Parkinson's disease vary considerably from person to person. Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but various treatments are available to help manage symptoms and slow its progression. These include medications that increase dopamine levels or mimic its effects, as well as therapies like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to address motor and non-motor symptoms. Lifestyle management, including regular exercise and a healthy diet, also plays a crucial role in supporting individuals with Parkinson's disease. Research continues to advance our understanding of Parkinson's disease and explore potential new treatments and disease-modifying therapies.
