Disease/Condition Glossary

Parkinson's disorder: Parkinson's is a medical condition in which brain regions gradually weaken over time. Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra, a portion of the brain. This reduces the amount of dopamine in the brain. Involuntary shaking of specific body parts (tremors), slow movement, and stiff and inflexible muscles are the three primary symptoms that distinguish Parkinson's disease. A person with Parkinson's disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms. These include depression, anxiety, balance problems (this may increase the chances of a fall), loss of sense of smell (anosmia), problems sleeping (insomnia) and memory problems.

Restless Legs Syndrome: Restless Legs Syndrome is a nervous system disorder that increases the urge to move the legs. It usually happens during sleeping or when a person is sitting for a long duration. Over time, the disease worsens if a person doesn't get treatment. Lack of sleep can worsen the condition. Walking or moving the legs relieves the symptoms for a short duration, and these symptoms may come and go and get worse during times of stress.
