Parkinson’s disease causes a person to have difficulty rising out of chair, walking and feeding themselves and dressing themselves in the later stages. Many people with Parkinson’s walk with the upper part of their body tilted forward. It is a disease easily recognized as it causes the hands to tremble or shake.

Alzheimer’s involves memory problems which advance to lack of recognition of people and places and later, psychosis.

They are both eventually fatal.

Alzheimers= they forget stuff and how to do things. The brain does not simple remember things

Parkinsons=their brain has no control over muscles.. they remember and think okay, but cannot control body movements.

Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder that is chronic and progressive, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys a person’s memory and ability to learn, reason, make judgments, communicate and carry out daily activities. As Alzheimer’s progresses, individuals may also experience changes in personality and behavior, such as anxiety, suspiciousness or agitation, as well as delusions or hallucinations.

Alzheimer’s is associated with memory loss while Parkinson’s is associated with tremor, an involuntary motor function.
