Parkinson's Disease (PD), often known as Parkinson's disease, is a chronic degenerative condition of the central nervous system that primarily affects the motor system. Non-motor symptoms normally appear gradually, and as the disease progresses, they become more prevalent. Tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and trouble walking are the most noticeable early signs. Many patients with Parkinson's disease experience despair, anxiety, and apathy, which can lead to cognitive and behavioral issues. Parkinson's disease dementia grows prevalent as the condition progresses. Parkinson's patients may also experience issues with their sleep and sensory systems. The disease's motor symptoms are caused by the loss of ce- -lls in the substantia nigra, a part of the midbrain, resulting in adopamine shortage.
