Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterised by tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia. The condition results from the degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to dopamine deficiency. Parkinson's Disease primarily affects motor function, with symptoms worsening over time. Treatment includes medication, physical therapy, and, in advanced cases, surgery.
