It is estimated that four to six million people around the world suffer from Parkinson's Disease - around 100,000 of these are in Australia.
After Alzheimer's, Parkinson's is the most common neuro-degenerative disease and the number of individuals with Parkinson's disease in 15 of the world's largest nations will double over the next generation, according to a study published in the journal of Neurology in 2007.
This book is written by professional medical journalist, Gabriella Rogers and is endorsed by Parkinson's Australia bringing together a formal medical perspective with the more personal perspective to provide a comprehensive look at the disease from all angles.
