Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects movement. It’s start in your brain practically in the substantia nigra. This area of the brain is very important in terms of controlling your movement. The History of this disease which is relatively young disorder, started in 1817 when James Parkinson published a description called Shaking Palsy. James Parkinson was a family practitioner and he was very socially aware and very politically active. He spent part of his time treating people and anther part of his time was spent handing out leaflets, which the government thought that it’s illegal to do, so he spent some time in jail due to his social views.

His description is a perfect example of the detailed by which this disease can be documented and this is how this disorder was discovered. Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration or destruction of dopamine-producing nerve cells (dopaminergic cells). Dopamine is essential especially when it comes to movement and coordination. Anything can affect the balance of dopamine can create symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson's symptoms include: Tremor, stiff joints and losing coordination. Men have a greater risk than women of developing this disease. According to the health ministry, two hundred out of one million persons are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disorder around the world. Currently there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but medications are available to help to control the symptoms, often dramatically. In some later
