The Parkinson’s Disease podcast is a miniseries told by people living with Parkinson’s disease, their loved ones and health experts. We explore what causes Parkinson’s, how it’s diagnosed, and the treatments that are available. And we discuss how caregivers and loved ones can cope with Parkinson's disease, too.
Parkinson’s is a degenerative condition which is often associated with tremors, imbalance and rigidity, but it affects every person differently. Parkinson's disease impacts about one million Americans and over 8.5 million people worldwide. A diagnosis brings questions, concerns and fears about what lies ahead.
