Parkinson's disease is a condition which affects the part of the brain, called the substantia Niagara . Normally this part of the brain inhibits the excessive movement in the body by releasing an substance called dopamine into the rest of the brain. Loss of this will cause the disturbed movements and other symptoms seen in parkinsonism.

That is why drugs which increases the dopamine in the brain is given to treat this condition.
