Symptoms Of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
August 27, 2018
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is an uncommon brain disorder. It affects many areas of function, including a person's movement, balance, mood and behavior, speech, and thoughts. Damage done to nerve cells within the brain cause this condition. The illness worsens and causes weakness in the body through damaging the nuclei in the brain. In particular, these nuclei are in control of a person's eye movements. PSP's symptoms often mimic Parkinson's disease, but the two conditions are separate. While there is no current treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy, early detection can help patients manage their symptoms with medication. These are the main symptoms and warning signsthat PSP is developing.
