Overview

What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological condition that primarily affects the brain cells responsible for producing dopamine, a chemical that helps control smooth and coordinated body movements.

As dopamine levels decrease, patients may experience movement difficulties along with other physical and non-motor symptoms.

Slowness of Movement
Difficulty initiating movements or performing routine tasks due to slowed body movements.
Muscle Stiffness
Rigidity in the arms, legs, or trunk that may cause discomfort and reduced flexibility.
Balance and Walking Problems
Difficulty maintaining balance, shuffling gait, or increased risk of falls.
Changes in Speech or Handwriting
Speech may become softer, and handwriting may gradually become smaller or more difficult to read.
Types

Types of Parkinson's Disease

There are several types of Parkinson's disease, each with distinct features and progression. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment.

Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
The most common form of Parkinson's disease, developing gradually without a clearly identified cause. It is thought to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease diagnosed before the age of 50. It often progresses more slowly than typical Parkinson's disease and may have a stronger genetic link.
Genetic (Familial) Parkinson's Disease
A less common form caused by inherited genetic mutations. People with a family history of Parkinson's may have a higher risk of developing this type.
Atypical Parkinsonism
A group of progressive neurological disorders that share symptoms with Parkinson's disease but have different underlying causes and often respond differently to treatment.
