Understanding Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease is more common in older people, but it can affect anyone, at any age. It can make you slow, stiff or shaky (tremors), and change how you move, think, feel or behave.
Some medicines can help to relieve symptoms, but there are other treatments that can help as well.
