Overview

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder resulting from nerve cell degeneration in the area of the brain responsible for controlling movement. These nerve cells stop functioning or degenerate, losing their capacity to make the crucial neurotransmitter dopamine. Symptoms start slowly. Parkinson's disease is a group of aberrant protein disorders affecting specific brain regions and exhibiting inescapable characteristic patterns. These include corticobasal syndrome, multiple system atrophy progressive supranuclear palsy, and dementia with Lewy bodies. 

According to research symptoms of Parkinson's disease develop in patients who have a loss of dopamine-producing cells. Dopamine normally helps coordinate the millions of nerve and muscle cells involved in movement by functioning in a delicate balance with other neurotransmitters. This balance is disrupted when there is insufficient dopamine resulting in tremor - the characteristic symptom of Parkinson's.

Causes

Loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra a region of the brain is the cause of Parkinson's disease. The production of the neurotransmitter dopamine is carried out by nerve cells in this region. To help regulate and synchronize bodily movements. Parkinsonism can also be caused by: 

• Brain damage like in stroke or injury 

• Encephalitis or brain inflammation is typically brought on by a diffuse viral infection 

• Anesthesia-related brain damage from carbon monoxide poisoning

• Lewy body dementia is a neurodegenerative illness that manifests as dementia. 

• Multiple system atrophy (MSA) a deadly neurodegenerative illness that impairs speech and causes slowness of movement. Among other causes, Parkinsonism  can be brought on by 

• Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. 

• Progressive supranuclear palsy is a rare brain condition that impairs speech balance and movement. 

• Mercury poisoning and other chemical exposure 

• Drugs used to treat nausea or mental health issues

Symptoms

The following are the most common symptoms of this condition: 

• Trembling particularly in the hands

• Reduced expressions on the face or expressing yourself on the face 

• Muscle weakness or paralysis 

• Weakness in voice

• Stiffness in muscles 

• Inability to control or initiate movement Parkinsonism patients frequently have co-occurring disorders that exacerbate their neurological symptoms. These symptoms could include muscle spasms dementia confusion or memory loss, and balance issues.
