Is parkinsons disease a neurological disorder?

Yes, Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder. It is a chronic and progressive movement disorder that affects the central nervous system. It is caused by the loss of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical messenger that is involved in controlling movement. The loss of dopamine leads to a variety of symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination. Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease.
