Parkinsonism
Parkinsonism is a disease condition that affects the nerves that are responsible for movement. It is a syndrome characterized by tremors, slow movements, the rigidity of the muscles, and posture instability. Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of cells in the brain which produce dopamine. It is believed to be caused by genetic factors.
The risk factors for developing Parkinson’s disease are age above 60, hereditary conditions, and exposure to toxins. If Parkinson’s disease is not treated at the earliest, it may lead to complications like difficulty in thinking, depression and emotional changes, sleep disorders, incontinence of the bladder, pain, and weakness. Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, diagnosing and treating at the earliest can help to manage the symptoms and avoid further complications.
Treatment for Parkinson’s disease involves medications like dopamine promoters, antidepressants, and tremor medications. These medications can help to control the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and prevent further progression.
Neurologists, along with Physiotherapists and speech therapists provide treatment for Parkinson’s disease. It is important to get appropriate treatment for Parkinson’s disease and it is equally important to choose the right physician for the treatment.
