Parkinson's disease is a disorder characterized by the progressive death of neurons in the brain, resulting in low quantities of dopamine and high acetylcholine. Symptoms include involuntary movement disorders, disruption of basal nuclei (basal ganglia), and excess stimulation can affect movement and posture.
The main objective of taking Parkinson’s disease drugs is to increase dopamine and decrease acetylcholine. Watch to learn more!

Levodopa caused massive psychosis in my grandfather and now my father. I cannot believe there is no other medication available for Parkinson’s after all these years. But this video was very informative as I was wondering why his range of motion was much worse when we discontinued that med but he at least knew where he was and who I was.
