Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system, impacting both motor and non-motor functions. Motor symptoms, collectively known as parkinsonism, include tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. Non-motor symptoms, such as dysautonomia, sleep abnormalities, anosmia, behavioral changes, cognitive impairment, psychosis, and anxiety, can manifest at any stage. Symptoms generally develop slowly, with non-motor issues becoming more prominent as the disease progresses.
