Parkinson’s disease is a neurologic disorder of old age, usually affecting more than 60 years of age. It is characterized by slowly developing disabilities due to the loss of dopamine in the brain cells. Parkinson’s disease is incurable, and currently, there is no treatment available that can cure the condition; only the disease progression can be slowed down.
According to an estimate, more than 10 million people live with Parkinson’s disease in the world each year. About 1 million of these live in the United States. Almost 60 thousand people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year in the United States alone.
