April is Parkinson's Awareness month. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Its impact goes far beyond what we can see.
Here are a few key things to know:
🧠 It’s caused by a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain
🤝 Symptoms can include tremors, stiffness, slowed movement, and changes in speech
💬 Non-movement symptoms like sleep issues, mood changes, and memory challenges are also common
👥 Every person’s experience with Parkinson’s is different
While there is currently no cure, early support, consistent care, and the right resources can make a meaningful difference in quality of life.
This month is about raising awareness, supporting those affected, and reminding caregivers and families that they’re not alone!
