What is Parkinson's disease?

"Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a type of movement disorder that can affect the ability to perform common, daily activities. It is a chronic and progressive disease, meaning that the symptoms become worse over time. It is characterized by its most common of motor symptoms—tremors (a form of rhythmic shaking), stiffness or rigidity of the muscles, and slowness of movement (called bradykinesia), but also manifests in non-motor symptoms including sleep problems, constipation, anxiety, depression, and fatigue, among others, " (taken from https://www.apdaparkinson.org).
