Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It occurs when dopamine-producing brain cells gradually decline. Most people maintain their independence and quality of life while maintaining mobility, reducing symptoms, and improving daily functioning with early diagnosis, medication, therapy, and lifestyle support.
