Parkinson’s disease is brain disorder which affects the movement of individual, its one progressive disorder which occurs due to death of nerves cells in our brain area called substantia nigra, when these nerve cells become impaired in such cases they are not able to produce dopamine in our brain, and this deficiency of dopamine leads to Parkinson’s disorder.

Usually dopamine help in maintaining balance between our nerves and muscle function, but in case of deficiency it leads to tremors in different body parts which is why tremors in hand is one of the first visible symptom of Parkinson disorder.

Even though tremors are usual symptoms of Parkinson’s but in most of the cases as the disease progress symptoms like difficulty in thinking, decline in memory, confusion or difficulty in paying attention are more prominent. The reason for such symptoms is neurological disorders like dementia. A loss in brain function results in dementia which is caused by Parkinson’s disease over the period (years of progression of Parkinson’s)

For the longer period of time Parkinson’s disorder is considered as movement disorder or motor disease because it usually affects the movement of the individual, but it has the ability to affect the memory function of the individual causing PDD, decline in memory function should also not be considered as Alzheimer’s disease. When a Parkinson’s patient reaches its advanced stage it leads to many other neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s or dementia which is about in 80% of Parkinson’s cases, this is why it also known as Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD).
