Are there different kinds of parkinsons disease?

Yes, there are different kinds of Parkinson's disease. The most common type is idiopathic Parkinson's disease, which accounts for about 85% of all cases. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Other types of Parkinson's disease include:

* Genetic Parkinson's disease: This type is caused by mutations in specific genes. It is the second most common type of Parkinson's disease, accounting for about 10% of all cases.

* Secondary Parkinson's disease: This type is caused by another underlying condition, such as a head injury, stroke, or encephalitis. It accounts for about 5% of all cases.

* Atypical Parkinsonian syndromes: These are a group of conditions that mimic the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but are caused by different underlying factors. Some examples include multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

Each type of Parkinson's disease has its own unique set of symptoms and progression. Some types are more aggressive than others, and some may respond better to certain treatments. It is important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.
