Parkinson’s Disease: Symptoms & Treatment

What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a gradual neurological disorder that attacks the nerve cells in the brain.  This causes a decrease in dopamine which leads to abnormal brain activity. Early stages of Parkinson’s disease can present very mild symptoms including a slight tremor, softer speech, and stiffening of the face.  As Parkinson’s progresses symptoms may worsen with time.  The cause is not completely known, although genes may play a role.  There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease but treatments focus on managing symptoms.
