Parkinson's disease caused the death of many people and great personalities like the Pâpe Jean Paul II, the American actor Robin Williams and the famous boxer Mohamed Ali Clay of the United States.
Parkinson's disease causes both mental disorders (mental disturbances) and engines (the person has trouble moving their members properly).
It is due to the destruction of neurons in different areas of the brain and in particular at the level of the black substance which is responsible for the production and release of dopamine.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) which intervenes in the emotional state and in motor skills.

Parkinson's disease causes dopamine levels reduction and causes very characteristic symptoms such as;
- Psychic disorders (anxiety, depression)
- rests at rest
- Muscle rigidity
- language disorders
- Difficulties in writing
- Difficulties to walk
- a loss of balance
The cause of Parkinson's disease is not really known. Observations nevertheless show that certain factors can promote Parkinson's disease, such as heredity, significant exposure to heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, ...), pesticides or herbicides.
The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is made by a specialist doctor (neurologist) who observes these characteristic symptoms and the improvement or stabilization of the patient's condition following the taking of treatments based on dopamine.
Treatments aim to reduce the appearance of symptoms and delay the evolution of the disease.
