Treatment of Parkinson's disease
Treatment of Parkinson's disease aims to control symptoms by replacing the missing dopamine in the brain, so that nerves and muscles can work more normally.
As no single medicine can achieve this for everyone, there are several different drugs to choose from and your healthcare professional can speak to you about the options available.
The goal is to find a treatment that will provide good relief of symptoms, with the least risk of side effects and movement complications.
Artist: Helmut
Helmut is 66 years old. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's 10 years ago. For Helmut, painting is an opportunity for concentration, work and joy. "What this picture means to me? Having the time to enjoy - and who even has that in these hectic times?"
