Parkinson's Disease Awareness Course

Description

Parkinson's Disease Awareness Diploma 

Parkinson's disease, also known as PD, is a disorder that impacts the brain. This causes the individual to suffer from impaired movements, such as stiffness and shaking, that deteriorate with time. More specifically, PD is attributed to when an individual loses nerve cells within the brain's substantia nigra, resulting in reduced dopamine production. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is crucial in regulating movement in an individual. Several PD symptoms can be attributed to lowering this neurotransmitter's production.
