Question: What Is Parkinson's?
Parkinson's is a progressive condition that can come with a number of symptoms. These may range from memory problems and the loss of smell to more commonly recognised issues such as stiffness shakes and slow movement.
The cause of Parkinson's is a loss of nerve cells in a specific part of the brain called the substantia nigra. Though the cause is understood, modern science does not understand why this takes place.
Parkinson's disease cannot currently be cured but it can be managed with medicines, physical therapies and in more extreme cases, brain surgery. It's important to note that Parkinson's can create challenges but you can still lead a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. Remaining positive and seeking home assistance may provide a solution to managing the condition and taking care of tasks that may otherwise prove problematic for you or your loved ones.
