Characterized by a dopamine deficiency in the brain, this neurodegenerative disease disrupts signal transmission in the brain, impacting its proper functioning. Motor symptoms, like tremors, slowness of movement and imbalance problems can appear and deteriorate in patients who have quietly carried the disease for years. Equally devastating are PD鈥檚 lesser-known symptoms, like depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dizziness and sleep disorders.</p> Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:56:51 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1372 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research-spotlight/Adversity-Mental-Health <p>While it is commonly understood that a difficult childhood can lead to mental health issues, research has now exposed deeper, more troubling impacts of early life adversity: that these experiences can reshape the brain and body at a cellular level.
