Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra, which leads to problems with movement control. It most often presents with tremor, stiffness, slowed movements, and balance difficulties, though non-motor symptoms like sleep problems, depression, and memory changes are also common. The exact cause is unclear, but both genetics and environmental exposures can play a role. While there is no cure, medications such as levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAO-B inhibitors, as well as deep brain stimulation, can improve symptoms and help maintain quality of life.
