A member asked:
What's the main difference between parkinsonism and parkinson's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type of Symptoms: Parkinsonism refers to signs or symptoms that are often associated with Parkinson's disease. This term would be used for patients that exhibited some signs of parkinson's, but who didn't have enough symptoms to be classified as Parkinson's disease. These symptoms can be seen for other reasons, such as medication side effects.
