When To Call A Professional

Call your doctor if you develop any of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, especially if you notice a persistent tremor or stiffness anywhere in your body, or if you have trouble walking or rising from a chair. You also should call your doctor if you have any of the symptoms of depression.

Prognosis

Although there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, a well-constructed treatment plan allows many patients to lead active lives.
