Parkinsonism
Any person who has the signs and symptoms characteristic
of Parkinson's disease is said to have "parkinsonism",
but not every person with parkinsonism has Parkinson's disease,
it's only one of the possibilities.
Patients and their families need to understand
parkinsonism, because some 20 to 25 percent of people diagnosed
with Parkinson's disease will eventually be discovered to have some
other form of parkinsonism. Parkinsonism may look like Parkinson's
disease, but over time it does not act like it.
For this reason, if you have been diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease it is important to see a neurologist who has
experience diagnosing and treating this disorder.
