Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects nerve cells in the brain that are responsible for producing dopamine. When this happens, dopamine levels start reducing. A person starts noticing stiffness, tremors in one hand, slow movements, shaking, difficulty walking, coordination, stooped posture, and voice changes. This condition can last for many years or a lifetime. Treatment with medicines and physiotherapy may help control the symptoms and provide a quality life for as long as possible.
