00:00In Parkinson's disease, a person goes through three important stages.

00:09In the first stage, we find out if the patient's hand is slow or not.

00:19In most of the cases, the patient does not have any major problems.

00:24In the second stage, we find out if the patient's hand is slow or not.

00:32In this stage, the patient can feel the effects of the medication.

00:37The next stage is after 6 to 7 years.

00:41In this first stage, the patient goes through the honeymoon stage.

00:45In the honeymoon stage, the effect of the medication will not be good.

00:50The medication will only work for a short period of time or it will take a long time to work.

00:55If it works, there will be some unnecessary movements in the body.

00:58This is the second stage.

01:00In this stage, the medication alone will not be able to control Parkinson's disease.

01:04Physiotherapy and occupational therapy will be required.

01:07For some people, advanced treatments such as deep brain stimulation may be required.

01:12In the next stage, the effect of the medication will be very less.

01:16In this stage, we can treat Parkinson's disease from this stage only through physiotherapy.

01:26So, when you are in this stage, consult your doctor and do your treatment properly.
