What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects over one million people in the United States and more than 4 million people worldwide. The symptoms of Parkinson’s generally develop slowly, but that can vary by individual. While Parkinson’s disease is not considered a fatal condition, complications from Parkinson’s can be life-threatening.

Some common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include:

  • Tremor in hands, usually at rest and also described as pill-rolling tremor in hands

  • Trouble with balance or walking

  • Rigidity or stiffness in limbs

  • A slowness in movement, known as Bradykinesia

  • Depression, hallucinations, and delusions

  • Loss of sense of smell

  • Cognitive impairment

  • Sleeping disorders

Although these are the most common symptoms of Parkinson’s, not everyone will encounter the same symptoms. If they do, they may experience them in a different order or intensity. To gauge the progression of Parkinson’s, doctors often use the Hoehn and Yahr scale that ranges from zero with no symptoms, up to stage five, the most advanced and debilitating stage of the disease.
