Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects a person’s movement and motor skills. It’s characterized by symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, impaired balance, and slow movement, which worsen over time. The condition is a result of the decreased production of dopamine in the brain due to the degeneration of specific nerve cells. While there’s currently no cure for Parkinson’s, various treatments like medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery, can help manage the symptoms.
