7 signs of Parkinson’s for timely intervention
Parkinson’s disease is marked by a general decline in neurological health that interferes with movement control. While the cause of it is not known precisely, it is usually associated with age-related changes in brain function and some genetic factors. The more recognizable symptoms often overshadow the early signs of the condition.
