What is Parkinson’s disease ?
Parkinson’s disease is a neuro degenerative disease that affects the movement. It takes place as a result of less dopamine secretion in the brain. It happens as a result of death of the brain cells secreting dopamine.
Dopamine is a chemical that helps in conduction of message from substantia niagra to other parts of the brain. This process helps controlling the movement of the body. A decrease in the secretion of dopamine hampers the motor action that controls the movement.
Parkinson’s disease is otherwise called Idiopathic Parkinsonism, Primary Parkinsonism, Hypokinetic rigid syndrome, Paralysis agitans, Parkinsonism, Parkinson’s syndrome etc.
Parkinson’s disease is not considered to be fatal. But some of its complications may lead to death. The onset of the disease and its complications are a set of gradual process.
Although, Parkinson’s disease is supposed to be a movement disorder some non- motor types of disorders like sensory dysfunction, cognitive disorder, disturbed sleep are observed.
