What Are Parkinson's and Alzheimer's?

Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder marked by slowing of movements, tremor and muscle stiffness. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia and affects memory and thinking abilities. Both require regular follow-up.

Symptoms

  • Parkinson's: tremor at rest, slow movement, muscle stiffness, changes in gait
  • Alzheimer's: forgetting new information, difficulty finding words, confusion about direction/time, difficulty with daily tasks

When to Seek Care?

Forgetfulness that affects daily life, changes in personality and behavior, or newly starting tremor and slowing of movement require a neurological evaluation. Early evaluation makes follow-up easier.

The Evaluation Process

The evaluation includes a detailed history, a neurological examination and, when needed, cognitive tests and imaging. The course of the symptoms is monitored over time.

Treatment & Follow-up Approach

The approach is based on managing symptoms and preserving quality of life. Medication support, lifestyle adjustments and family education are planned individually. Decisions are made together.
