Parkinson's disease

TESS

Parkinson's disease is a brain disease, which is common in the elderly. Some of the symptoms are:

• shaking
• stiff muscles
• reduced ability to speak and move
• mental symptoms, particularly depression and anxiety

Some studies show that nearly 70% of patients with Parkinson's disease unfortunately will develop depression. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease can be similar to depression. It is therefore important that you are aware that both symptoms can appear simultaneously.
