Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movements. This means it may cause tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems. It may also cause symptoms unrelated to movement like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, loss of sense of smell, and dementia.

PD symptoms vary from person to person, meaning not everyone experiences the same signs or severity. Symptoms may even vary within the same person over time.
