Parkinson’s Disease is a very common disease, not only in the United States but also in the entire world. Many people are known to be affected by this disease, and just as many do not know the true extent of the disease. With the commonality of the disease, it’s vital that individuals are knowledgeable about this disease. Parkinson’s Disease is a neurological disorder that causes individuals affected to lose their control for movement, causing tremors throughout the face and body. This review article thoroughly examines the causes and symptoms of this disease, discusses treatments that could be provided to a suffering patient, and previews the cure that is hoped to be released in the future.
