Q: What is Parkinson's disease?
A: Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. Parkinson's disease is one of the conditions known as a movement disorder.
Certain cells in the brain make a chemical substance called dopamine (DOE-puh-mean). Dopamine carries messages that tell the body how and when to move. Parkinson's disease occurs when these brain cells die or are damaged. There is no longer enough dopamine to carry these messages, and movement becomes more difficult. Parkinson's disease is both a chronic and progressive disease. Chronic means that it lasts for a long time. Progressive means the symptoms get worse over time. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease and the speed at which the disease progresses differ for each person.
What is Parkinsons disease?
I shocked how sad!
