Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects the way your body moves. It happens when certain nerve cells in the brain stop working properly and don’t produce enough dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement. This can lead to symptoms like shaking (tremors), stiffness, slow movements, and trouble with balance. Some people may also experience changes in mood, sleep, or thinking as the disease progresses. While there is currently no cure and no approved interventions that can slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease, there are treatments including medication, exercise, and therapy that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
