What is Parkinson’s Disease?
As highlighted by Parkinson’s UK, the fastest-growing neurological condition globally, Parkinson’s disease involves the gradual deterioration of specific brain areas over an extended period. Approximately 145,000 individuals in the UK live with Parkinson’s.
This condition arises from the gradual malfunction and subsequent loss of dopamine cells in the brain. When these cells cease functioning and diminish over time, the brain’s capacity to generate adequate dopamine for regulating movement is compromised, leading to the manifestation of symptoms.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease
Prior to receiving a medical diagnosis, individuals often observe symptoms of Parkinson’s disease over an extended period.
The three primary symptoms of Parkinson’s are:
- Sluggish movement
- Involuntary tremors in specific body parts
- Rigidity and stiffness in muscles.
With over 40 diverse symptoms, Parkinson’s impacts each person uniquely. Other physical and psychological manifestations encompass:
- Sleep disturbances
- Mild cognitive impairments
- Challenges with balance
- Urinary issues or constipation
- Decreased sense of smell
- Difficulty in swallowing, chewing, and speaking
