Compulsive behavior, though not common, sometimes occurs in patients with Parkinson’s disease and is more likely to be associated with those on treatment with dopamine agonists, although other types of anti-Parkinson drugs may be implicated too. These impulse-control disorders are seen more often in men than in women and are more common in patients with young-onset Parkinson’s disease and may be accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, or mood disorders such as depression or anxiety.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of people all over the world. It is caused by the lack of neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. This neurotransmitter is responsible to control the part of brain incharge of the control movement, emotional response and the ability to feel pleasure and pain. The deficiency of dopamine act synergistically with the increase in the amount free radicals in the body and bring about the physical manifestation of the disease. The symptoms might appear anytime, but majority of the patients affected are usually above 50 years and rarely below 30 years of age. Although the characteristic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involve motor functions such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement and loss of postural reflex, there are other neurological and psychiatric symptoms present in later [… Read More]
Parkinson disease is a gradually progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal region of the brain. Damage to the nigro striatal region leads to a loss of dopaminergic neurons, which leads to slowing of the movements, tremors, rigidity, lack of muscle control and coordination, and freezing of gait in the advanced stages. The disease affects millions of people worldwide annually, and is very difficult to diagnose and cure because of the overlapping atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. Keeping this in mind, the Stem cell therapy is growing in popularity globally particularly for neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease. Researchers have confirmed the possibility of development of dopaminergic neurons from human embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to become any cell of the body. Clinics offering stem cell therapy are now [… Read More]

Parkinson’s disease is often associated with older persons, over the age of 50, but a significant number of cases starts within the 40s. Usually these signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s goes unnoticed either due to the low intensity, of symptoms, ignorance about this disease or fear about confronting the prospect of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Disability & The Law Courts There isn’t a more nerve wracking experience to endure in life than paying a visit to a court of law for whatever reason. For disabled people however, it is even more taxing, unless the court of law conforms to disability regulation and is fitted with adjustments to benefit disabled people. If you are deaf or hard of hearing If you are deaf or hard of hearing and have to attend court for any matter then you are entitled to certain rights, information and support regarding communication and facilities should be given to you by the court.

Parkinson disease the long-term progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the motor area of the brain which is called the substantia nigra. This area of the brain is rich in dopamine producing neurons. Dopamine is a chemical neurotransmitter that is responsible for the transmission of signals from one part of the brain to another and is responsible for the control of movement and coordination. The symptoms of Parkinson’s disease continue and worsen over time affecting millions of people all over the world. Currently there is no definite medical or surgical treatment options to completely manage its symptoms. However, the typical motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement, and postural instability may also occur in certain other conditions not related to Parkinson’s disease. These symptoms are grouped together under the term “Parkinsonism” [… Read More]
