Accompanying symptoms
Other accompanying symptoms: Balance disordersMany of those affected also suffer from disturbances of their balance. These can occur when simply walking and can also become worse when distracted at the same time. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is therefore advisable to do things one after the other (e.g. first stop and then take the cell phone out of your pocket).
Unfortunately, psychological changeDepressions often occur in the context of Parkinson’s disease. On the one hand, there is, as already described, a change or shift in the balance of transmitter substances (see also the topic of antidepressants), on the other hand, such a disease with all its limitations naturally also means that a patient may well develop depression due to the severity of the disease The actual “thinking” can slow down during the course of the disease. Intellectual abilities, however, are typically not affected. Other physical side effects (vegetative symptoms): In addition, other physical symptoms such as increased sweating, constipation, difficulty urinating or even dizziness may occasionally occur.
