April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness about the impact of a disease that affects millions of people around the world. Parkinson's was first described in traditional Chinese medical texts, and in 1817, it was characterized as a neurological condition by James Parkinson. But it wasn't until the 1960s that the neurotransmitter dopamine was linked to the disease. Since then, research has made significant strides in managing the disease, though there is still much to be done to prevent and cure it.
