READ: THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON PARKINSON'S DISEASE

WHAT IS PARKINSON'S DISEASE?

Parkinson's Disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects movement.

It is the second-most common age-related neurological disorder after Alzheimer's Disease.  Effective management of this disease entails drug therapy, physical and speech therapy, good nutrition and exercise.  As much as motor symptoms of Parkinson's are well-controlled with the above measures, non-motor symptoms emerging with disease progression contribute to ongoing disability in advanced stages.
