Is Parkinson's disease serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is Parkinson's disease serious?

Doctor's answer:

Parkinson's disease does not affect a person's survival, however, the progression of Parkinson's disease is a sign of the disease advancing. It can be said that the course of Parkinson's disease is divided into several stages. If misdiagnosis and individual cases reappear in the later stages, there may be some complications, such as pneumonia, muscle atrophy, dementia, depression, etc. These factors have the greatest impact on the life and health of Parkinson's disease patients. Therefore, early treatment and support are very important. It is recommended that Parkinson's patients use medication appropriately, adhere to rehabilitation training, and consider surgical treatment when necessary. At the same time, do not overlook the psychological and emotional issues of Parkinson's patients.
