WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
It could be anyone
According to 2016 estimates, Parkinson's disease affects roughly 10,00,000 people in India, with a significant increase in prevalence projected in the following years. Despite the fact that Parkinson's disease affects a significant number of people, nothing is known about the genetic and environmental risk factors that are unique to the Indian population. The prevalence of the disease is still undetermined in India due to the lack of scientific literature.
7,000,000+
That’s how many people have PD in India.
We understand that there is nothing that we can do to prevent Parkinson’s Disease, but we can learn and educate ourselves on how to not let it affect our lives. Hope4PD aims to spread the knowledge on PD as much and as far as possible, because we understand that a life does not end with a disease.

Knowledge is power
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative brain disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves._ Hence this causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. As the disease progresses, people may have difficulty walking and talking. They may also have mental and behavioural changes, sleep problems, depression, memory difficulties, and fatigue.
SYMPTOMS
It’s T.R.A.P.
Parkinson's disease symptoms can be different for everyone. Early symptoms may be mild and go unnoticed. For example, people may feel mild tremors or have difficulty getting out of a chair. They may notice that they speak too softly, or that their handwriting is slow and looks cramped or small, they take small, quick steps, and reduce swinging their arms.Symptoms often begin on one side of the body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect the limbs on both sides.
Rigidity
Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body.
Akinesia

Tremor
Rhythmic shaking, called tremor, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers.

OUR STORY
Dealing with PD,
one step at a time
In the past couple years, I, as a student have noticed the late diagnosis, social stigma, lack of education / awareness among patients / caregivers, lack of holistic approaches to managing PD and lack of medical access among poor patients regarding Parkinson’s disease.
