3 Early Indicators of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's disease is the second most common form of neurodegenerative illness, only after Alzheimer's disease. In fact, two percent of the population over age 70 has Parkinson's disease.

This episode, for Parkinson’s Awareness Month, we're talking with expert Dr. Rodolfo Savica. He'll break down the difference between Parkinson's and Parkinsonism; why doctors are seeing a triplication of risk of the disease; and the promising future of Parkinson's management.
