This #WorldHealthDayWeek, IMCS Health is shedding light on one of the most misunderstood neurodegenerative diseases. 🔍 What is Parkinson’s? It begins subtly—maybe with a hand tremor—but over time, it impairs walking, speech, balance, and even facial expressions. Caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, Parkinson’s affects both motor and non-motor functions. 👵 Who’s at Risk? While Parkinson’s typically appears after age 60, early-onset cases account for nearly 4% of diagnoses. With aging populations growing globally, early awareness and understanding are crucial. ⚠️ Know the Symptoms: From tremors and muscle rigidity to slurred speech and cognitive decline, early signs are often missed. Recognizing them can lead to earlier diagnosis and better management. 🔬 What Causes Parkinson’s? There’s no single cause. Genetics, environmental exposure, and aging all contribute. Though it can’t be prevented entirely, understanding risk factors can help in lowering susceptibility. 💊 Treatment & Support: While there’s no cure, medications, advanced therapies like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), and lifestyle changes can significantly improve quality of life. Physical therapy, a balanced diet, mental stimulation, and stress management play a key role. 💬 Let’s Raise Awareness Together Parkinson’s affects the entire body and mind. Let’s talk about it. Let’s support those facing it. And let’s advocate for earlier diagnosis and better care. 🔁 Share this post. Start conversations. Be part of the movement.
