Less than 60% of people find treatment medications helpful.

Everyday tasks (eating, drinking, writing) become difficult, if not impossible.

Many feel so ashamed they become socially isolated. Anxiety and depression are very real side-effects.

Often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease, although eight times more common.
