Specializes in Geriatric Psychiatry

Yes: Parkinsons syndrome means someone has symptoms that look like they have parkinsons disease. These can include slowness of movement, resting tremor, certain gait problems etc. Not everyone who has these symptoms has parkinsons disease. Certain medications and other health conditions can cause these types of symptoms. It is important to sort this out for treatment recommendations.
