Parkinson’s was first diagnosed in 1817 by James Parkinson’s. 1Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition, that causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time.

People with Parkinson's don't have enough of the chemical dopamine in their brain because some of the nerve cells that make it have stopped working. Around 153,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK. And it's the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
