What is Parkinson’s disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a lack of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Some of the most common Parkinson’s symptoms include tremors, slow movements, stiffness, and a lack of balance. Around 500,000 Americans are currently living with Parkinson’s disease, making it the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the United States.
