Parkinson's disease usually begins with tremors, rigidity of limb joints, and difficulty with posture and balance. The more sever symptoms include an inability to walk and problems with facial movements. Parkinson's disease progresses over time. Parkinson's usually manifests itself differently over time, so there isn't one answer to this question.

Parkinson's disease, a progressive age-associated neurodegenerative disorder. It progresses due to degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Predominantly substantia nigra, a small, dark-tinged region is affected which is responsible for motor control. The loss of dopamine disrupts the communication between the brain and muscles. This leads to discoordinated motor function including tremors, muscle stiffness (rigidity), bradykinesia (slowed movement), postural instability, and speech changes. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, but researches have inferred the cause to be combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors: Genetics: Research showed approximately 10-15% of Parkinson's is caused due to genetic mutation. Some examples of specific genetic mutations include LRRK2 or SNCA genes. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins, particularly in farming environments, has been associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s. The exposure to various agricultural chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, etc. may contribute to neuronal damage and the development of the disease. Age: Parkinson's disease is most commonly diagnosed in individuals over the age of 60. Aging is a key risk factor, with the disease's prevalence increasing with age as the brain's ability to repair and regenerate cells diminishes. Gender: Statistically male are more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease in comparison with women, suggesting a gender-related difference in susceptibility, although the exact reasons remain unclear. Head Trauma: Evidence suggests traumatic brain injuries like frequent head trauma, can increase the risk of developing Parkinson's at later life stage. Hence, the interaction of some or all these components contributes in development of Parkinson’s
