Understanding Parkinson's DiseaseSection titled Understanding%20Parkinson%27s%20Disease
What is Parkinson's Disease?Section titled What%20is%20Parkinson%27s%20Disease%3F
Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological condition that results from a loss of nerve cells in the brain which affects movement, and can lead to additional cognitive as well as non-motor symptoms. Although the exact cause remains unknown, Parkinson's is characterised by a reduction in dopamine levels, a key neurotransmitter involved in regulating movement. Symptoms typically develop slowly and can include tremors, stiffness, and difficulties with balance and coordination.
The Importance of Specialised Parkinson's CareSection titled The%20Importance%20of%20Specialised%20Parkinson%27s%20Care
The nature of Parkinson's Disease means that those afflicted require personalised care tailored to their specific stage and progression of the condition. Moreover, addressing non-motor symptoms such as depression, sleep disturbances, and memory issues is equally important. Access to specialised Parkinson's care is vital for helping individuals maintain their quality of life, ensuring their safety, and providing emotional and psychological support to both them and their loved ones.
