Overview

Parkinson’s disease is when part of the brain becomes progressively more damaged over many years. Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which part of the brain becomes progressively damaged over many years (a progressive neurological condition). Symptoms are caused by the deficiency of a chemical in the brain called Dopamine; why it happens, nobody knows. As it is incurable and has several side effects, you must know how to deal with and understand what the individual may be going through as a carer.

  • Define what Parkinson’s is
  • List the symptoms associated

  • Understand the outlook for Parkinson’s patients
