Answer 1

A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors.

Treatment can help, but this condition can't be cured

Requires a medical diagnosis

Lab tests or imaging often required

Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong

Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Parkinson's often starts with a tremor in one hand. Other symptoms are slow movement, stiffness and loss of balance.

Medication can help control the symptoms of Parkinson's.
