April 4th , Parkinson
April 4th , Parkinson 's Day, aims to raise awareness about Parkinson's Disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects millions of people in Brazil and around the world. Characterized by symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness and difficulty moving, the condition still has no cure, but can be controlled with appropriate treatments.
The date also highlights the importance of early diagnosis and access to medication, therapies and psychological support to improve the quality of life of patients. Experts emphasize that physical exercise and regular medical follow-up are essential to slow the progression of the disease.
Health organizations promote campaigns and events to inform society and encourage research that seeks new advances in treatment.
