※ This video is an excerpt from the episode "My Parents Are Strange! Look for the Signs of Parkinson's Disease!" aired on November 24, 2023. Have you noticed your parents acting strangely? They've been acting slowly and noticeably lethargic lately? Do they have trouble smelling? Do they have severe sleep apnea and constipation? It's easy to assume it's just because they're getting older, but it could be a precursor to a degenerative disease. That's Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is the second most common degenerative brain disease after dementia. While it typically develops in people over 65, some celebrities have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at an earlier age. Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali was also diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in his 40s. Parkinson's disease is caused by a decline in the brain's neurotransmitter dopamine. However, aside from the fact that most patients are elderly, the cause of this disease is unknown. In addition to the typical symptoms of hand tremors, gait disturbances, and speech impairments, Parkinson's disease is a frightening geriatric disease that can cause depression, hallucinations, delusions, and even dementia! Parkinson's disease, once considered incurable, can be overcome with consistent management and treatment. We will delve into this in-depth story in the EBS Doctor's episode, "My Parents Are Strange! Look for the Signs of Parkinson's Disease!" ✔ Program Title: Doctor - My Parents Are Strange!
