Does Parkinson’s even really exist? Or is it a collection of mostly similar diseases?

Alberto Espay says.

That we do not come close to capturing the complexity of PD and have to search for personalised treatments each of us is nowadays already more common view. Unfortunately, little applied in practice. However to say that Parkinson's doesn't exist seems like a nice puplicity quote for his book Brain Fables. He doesn’t really need that, because in his very interesting book and later videos he leaves a very nuanced image about neurodegenerative diseases and encourages us to think outside the usual box. So thank you for this inspiring reminder. 

The more recent video with Dr Alberto Espay has already been discussed here before by michel0220 9 months ago.

As a bonus from him, perhaps also interesting this clear explanation of the ‘levodopa myths’ that Nedim sent us 4 months ago.

Thanks. I'm kind of new still

So lewy bodies don't cause PD but PD causes lewy bodies.

A headline like that is not really worthy of comment
