But if it is identified then it is sensible to think about how to reduce the risk of it causing future problems. Here to provide an in-depth look at this condition is leading consultant neurologist and vascular neurology specialist Professor Hedley Emsley.

Living with Parkinson's disease: An expert's guide

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition caused by a lack of dopamine in the substantia nigra (this is in the mid-brain and is responsible for producing dopamine). Dopamine helps the body to function properly and is responsible for the most important bodily functions such as eating, walking and talking. It’s responsible for movement. A lack of dopamine causes tremors, motor problems and difficulty carrying out basic tasks. Dr Tahira Choudry tells us more about Parkinson’s disease and the different stages involved.
