The diagnosis of Young-Onset Parkinson’s disease is the same as Idiopathic, or typical, Parkinson’s disease except for the age of the patient. The average age of PD diagnosis is around 62.
When an individual is diagnosed with PD before the age of 50, the disorder is called Young-Onset Parkinson’s disease. (YOPD)
Come learn about the Disease and be supported from people who really understand.
