PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Non-specific symptoms of unintended or uncontrollable movements such as shakiness, stiffness along with intrinsic difficulty with balance and coordination can be considered as an indication of Parkinson’s disease.
The most prominent signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur when nerve cells producing dopamine become impaired. They now produce less dopamine which leads to movement related irritation. Loss of the nerve endings that produce norepinephrine, a chemical messenger of the sympathetic systema nervosum controlling many functions of the body is observed in this condition.

A particular pattern in the hereditary map of an individual and in the accompanying genetic mutations can be noticed in Parkinson’s disease. While genetics is believed to play a rather overriding role in Parkinson's, in most cases the disease lacks the showcase of any particular pattern in the family tree. Some investigations have pointed out the dependency on the toxins in the environment and how they can serve as an inoculum to the disease. The effects indicate the possibility of Parkinson’s surface in a biased fashion and generally come to light on one side of the patient’s body.

While genetics are believed to play a rather overriding role in Parkinson's, in most cases the disease lacks the showcase of any particular pattern in the family tree. Even though various researchers have probed deep enough, they do not hold enough data on the condition. Researchers have failed to develop a discrete appearance of the condition in the genetic sphere and hence no blood or laboratory tests have erupted. However, a relative form of diagnosis has been rather picked up; other conditions exhibiting similar symptoms to Parkinson’s have served to the acceleration in being somewhat closer to what one might consider as a complete diagnosis.
​
The lack of a directed cure for Parkinson’s does not wipe out the potential of various treatment methods such as medicines, operations or rife therapies. A class of medications called Central Nervous System agents; Levodopa gets converted to dopamine in the brain. The latter is supported by Carbidopa which prevents Levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. The above-mentioned medication is one the most prescribed medicine for Parkinson’s. For people with Parkinson's disease who don't respond well to medications, the doctor may recommend deep brain stimulation. Surgery may be performed where several electrodes are implanted into a specific part of the brain. In order to establish a form of coordination, a device is implanted to the chest that painlessly stimulate specific areas within the brain further enabling control over widespread movements in a way which will help prevent symptoms such as tremors and rigidity.

People with Parkinson's-like symptoms that result from other causes, like multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies are at times considered to root back in Parkinsonism. This approach however lacks the clarity required to treat the various conditions with a proper direction and hence ends up showing signs of several conditions at one go. The diversity of the various ailment targeting different conditions further necessitates the development of an accurate treatment
