Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes tremors, stiffness, and slow movement, which happens when the dopamine level in the nervous system begins to drop. However, these are only the initial symptoms of the movement disorder, when the patient suffers from the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. The disorder affects every individual differently but is likely to progress fast, if not brought under control. Once diagnosed, the patient should be treated at the earliest, by bringing them onto medications, injections, and therapies to manage their condition and control the symptoms (remember, Parkinson's Disease cannot be permanently cured!), which helps to keep the patient from progressing to further stages. But, if appropriate treatments are not taken up, the symptoms can worsen, shifting the patient rapidly towards end-stage Parkinson's Disease.
