Parkinson's disease affects people of all races and cultures, with about 10 million cases worldwide. In the U.S., around one million people have Parkinson's. While most diagnosed are over 60, around 225,000 Americans with Parkinson’s are 50 or younger.

PD, or Parkinson's disease, is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative condition impacting a small cluster of nerve cells deep within the brain. Classified under motor system disorders, Parkinson's disease happens when important brain cells, called neurons, stop working properly. It mainly affects neurons in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which is part of the system that controls movement. Some of these neurons produce dopamine, a chemical that helps send signals to coordinate movement. As Parkinson's progresses, the brain produces less dopamine, making it harder for a person to control their body movements smoothly. This leads to symptoms like shaking, stiffness, and slower gait movements.
