Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is characterized by symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slow movement, and difficulty with balance and coordination. Parkinson's occurs when nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical messenger involved in controlling movement, become damaged or die. The exact cause of Parkinson's is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While there is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease, treatments such as medication, therapy, and surgery can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for people living with the condition. Ongoing research aims to better understand Parkinson's disease and develop new and improved treatments.
