During its early stages, Parkinson’s may cause tremors and changes to posture, walking and facial expressions. Someone with advanced Parkinson’s may lose the ability to stand or walk due to stiffness.
In addition to symptoms typical of movement disorders, Parkinson’s disease can cause non-motor symptoms like depression, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell or cognitive impairment.
