What Is Parkinson’s Disease?

A lot of people still have little knowledge about Parkinson Disease, which is why not a lot of them are able to fully describe and define what it is exactly. They might know that one particular actor, Michael J. Fox, has that disease, but that might be the extent of what they know. Fortunately for you, you don’t have to be on the same boat as those people. This article will offer you information about what Parkinson Disease really is, so just read on.

Parkinson’s Disease is actually named after a British physician, Dr. James Parkinson, as he was the first person to systematically describe the disease in 1817, although it was a Jean-Martin Charcot who coined the term “Parkinson’s Disease” later on. James Parkinson was able to describe the disease by observing six patients on their daily walks, all of whom were experiencing the symptoms of the disease.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is actually a degenerative disease that affects your central nervous system, causing some impairment on a person’s speech, motor skills, and other functions. This means that the sufferer will experience rigidity in the muscles, tremors, postural instability, repetitive rapid movements, and the slowing or complete absence of physical movement, mainly due to the gradual loss of cells in the brain, thereby resulting in the loss of vital chemicals called “dopamine”.

Although the symptoms could vary from one person to another, still, these basic symptoms are more or less present with those suffering form the disease.

The part of the brain that is affected by this disease is actually referred to as the substantia nigra, which is responsible for producing and releasing dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control your body’s movement and coordination by sending chemical signals from the brain to your nervous system and to your body.

Parkinson Disease actually causes groups of dopamine-producing cells to malfunction and die, thereby causing a shortage in the amount of dopamine in the body. This means that chemical signals from the brain dictating the body how to move are being delivered more slowly, leaving the sufferer incapable of controlling his body’s movements in a normal way.

This disease is actually chronic and progressive, which signifies that the symptoms and condition will only get worse and worse over time. Though not considered fatal on its own, due to the progressive nature of the disease, complications may arise on the late stages of the disease that can cause the death of the sufferer.
