Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long term disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms generally come on slowly over time. Early in the disease, the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. Thinking and behavioral problems may also occur. Dementia becomes common in the advanced stages of the disease. Depression and anxiety are also common occurring in more than a third of people with PD. Other symptoms include sensory, sleep, and emotional problems. The main motor symptoms are collectively called parkinsonism, or a parkinsonian syndrome.
Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that occurs when neurons in the area of the brain called the substantia nigra begin to die. This interferes with the production of the chemical dopamine, which aids in muscle movement.Symptoms begin to appear when about 80 percent of the dopamine-producing cells are damaged.he main symptoms of Parkinson's include tremors, slow movements, stiffness and balance problems. While Parkinson's is not curable, there are medications that mimic dopamine and help with slowness, tremors and stiffness.
