Parkinson's is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. It occurs when neurons that produce dopamine die off quickly. When a large portion of the neurons that produce neurons die, patients begin to feel the symptoms of tremors, stiffness. Parkinson's is a chronic and progressive disease, but because each person is different the disease may manifest itself in different ways.
Parkinson's Disease is a hard disease to diagnose. Since there is no test to check for Parkinson's Disease, a doctor will examine a patient, and try to see if they are suffering from any of the symptoms.
