Accepted Answer

Neurological disease: The research is just finding a correlation. Please try not to worry if you get migraine. The chances are still very low. Causes of PD are complex and may overlap w/ other conditions. It's nothing like 'causation'. Mention your worry to your doctor but be reassured. Targeted psychotherapy can help medical anxiety and save you money/suffering. Relax.

what is pseudo parkinson's disease?

Accepted Answer

Not Parkinson's: Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain characterized by slowness of movement, rigidity of muscles and is caused by a deficiency of Dopamine in the brain.  Many drugs such as the anti-psychotics can cause a parkinson's-like picture, as can some severe infections and metabolic disorders.  I believe the term is more of a lay term than what is truly found in medical books.
