Parkinson’s Disease is a disorder that targets the nervous system and causes problems with movement and other bodily functions. Unfortunately, there are currently no tests that explicitly look for and diagnose this disease. Parkinson’s Disease is instead diagnosed by a mix of specific symptoms, prior medical history, and examinations by doctors. It is important to be proactive in identifying early warning signs of Parkinson’s Disease and understanding how to address them.
Because medical tests cannot alert doctors of Parkinson’s Disease, knowing the symptoms is especially important to catching this disease early. Identifying the signs of Parkinson’s Disease gives you the opportunity to contact your doctor and take swift action.
