Parkinsonism

Parkinsonism refers to a group of neurological disorders that cause movement problems similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease. Symptoms often include tremors, stiffness, slow movement, and balance difficulties. While Parkinson's disease is the most common cause, other factors like brain injuries, certain medications, or other conditions can also lead to parkinsonism. The underlying issue generally involves disruptions in the brain's ability to control movement, specifically related to neurotransmitters like dopamine. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life, often through medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes.
