Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that mainly impairs movement. It results from the gradual depletion of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra, a part of the brain. This loss causes various symptoms, including tremors, stiffness, slow movement, and balance issues. In this episode of Parkinson's Disease Podcast, we will look at the impact of Parkinson's on individuals and families, dispel common myths, and emphasize the necessity of early detection and management measures.
Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr Pravallika Dutta – consultant neurologist at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to explore the basic principles of Parkinson's disease, including symptoms, etiology, and prevalence.
