Progression

The progression of Parkinson’s is difficult to predict because it varies widely among individuals. Several factors contribute to this diversity. First, the symptoms of Parkinson’s can vary widely, affecting both motor and non-motor functions. The severity and combination of these symptoms differ significantly from person to person. Second, individual responses to treatment play a crucial role. People react differently to medications and therapies. Third, lifestyle choices, genetic predispositions and environmental exposures interact to affect progression.
