Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases

Both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are neurological disorders that are impacted by harmed brain cells. In both situations, dementia may be present in addition to depressive, anxious, and sleep-related symptoms. These illnesses can cause psychotic symptoms including hallucinations and delusions. Beta-amyloid and tau protein clumps are present in the two main types of Alzheimer's disease. Beta-amyloid clusters are known as plaques, and tau clumps are known as tangles. Lewy bodies, which are composed of the protein alpha-syncline, are seen in the primary areas of the brain that regulate movement in people with Parkinson's disease.
