Statement of the Illness/Disease

Parkinson's Disease is a neurological disorder that progressively affects a part of the brain that controls the voluntary movements of the human body.

Typically, neurotransmitters called Dopamine, carries messages between the nerve cells to promote voluntary movements throughout the body. As a result of Parkinson's Disease, an excessive amount of dopamine is loss and the individual will lack control of his voluntary movements.

Types of Parkinson's Disease:

• Postencephalitic Parkinsonism
• Drug-Induced Parkinsonism
• Striatonigral Degeneration
• Arteriosclerotic Parkinsonism
• Toxin-Induced Parkinsonism
