What is the difference between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s?

  There are some similarities between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease in terms of symptom analysis, so what is the difference between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease? I think this is a problem that everyone is very concerned and cared about, so in response to your questions today, we will briefly introduce to you!  1, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease causes are different Parkinson’s cause is the most important is the degeneration of the substantia nigra in the brain. The substantia nigra can secrete dopamine, and when the substantia nigra degenerates, the number of dopamine secreted is not enough. If the amount of dopamine is less than 50% of the normal amount, symptoms of Parkinson’s (tremor palsy) begin to appear.  The site of the disease that causes Alzheimer’s disease is also in the brain, but in the temporal lobe of the brain. If there is atrophy in the temporal lobe, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease will appear.  2, distinguish the difference between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s symptoms Parkinson’s patients have more obvious physical symptoms such as trembling, stiffness and slow movement of hands and feet. In addition, Parkinson’s patients may have psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. More than 60% of Parkinson’s (tremor palsy) patients have symptoms of depression and do not like to contact and interact with others.  Patients with Alzheimer’s disease like to stay quietly most of the time and are reluctant to move; there are no obvious physical symptoms; there is obvious memory loss, especially the memory of recent events, always forgetting things, but things from their youth may be remembered clearly; their personality suddenly changes, such as: becoming calculating, easily emotional and easily sad; they are reluctant to stay in one place, but often do not remember the way and easily get lost.  3, from the treatment effect of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s (tremor paralysis) disease At present, Parkinson’s (tremor paralysis) disease can be treated by drugs and surgery. In terms of drugs, levodopa preparation is the main treatment drug, which can effectively relieve the symptoms. In terms of surgery, brain pacemaker surgery can relieve Parkinson’s disease (tremor palsy, rigidity). Different Parkinson’s patients find the right treatment plan for their condition.  Although there are many drugs for Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s disease), there is no specific drug. Many scholars are currently studying DBS (brain pacemaker) therapy.
