Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition that leads to various neurological and mobility-related symptoms. Caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, the initial symptoms may be so mild that they often go unnoticed for a long time. But then, when the disorder worsens, they become drastically more noticeable. With an estimated 10 million cases worldwide, PD affects people from all walks of life, including many famous individuals.
