Parkinsonism is any condition that causes a combination of the movement abnormalities seen in Parkinson's disease — such as tremor, slow movement, impaired speech or muscle stiffness — especially resulting from the loss of dopamine-containing nerve cells (neurons). Not everyone with Parkinsonism has Parkinson's disease. Parkinsonism can be caused by medications, Lewy body dementia or other illnesses. It's more about symptoms than the disease. Take care, Carol
