Parkinson’s is one of the biggest neurological health problems facing the UK. It can strike anyone at any time regardless of age, gender or race and it devastates lives. There are approximately 3,600 people living with Parkinson’s in Northern Ireland.
Parkinson’s can change someone’s life dramatically; it affects every aspect of daily life. Not only do tremors, stiffness and slowness of movement affect people with Parkinson’s, but less recognised symptoms including depression, medication side effects and addictive behaviours can have a devastating impact on people’s lives.
