AI Summary
This concurrent resolution recognizes April as Parkinson's Awareness Month and April 11, 2025, as World Parkinson's Day, highlighting the significance of Parkinson's disease as a chronic and progressive neurological condition affecting approximately 1 million Americans and over 10 million people worldwide. The resolution provides context about the disease, noting that it is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain, and is projected to affect 1.2 million people by 2030. It emphasizes the substantial economic impact of the disease, with annual total costs approaching $52 billion, and underscores the importance of educating people about symptoms like tremors, rigidity, slow movement, and cognitive impairment. The resolution also highlights the current limitations in diagnosis and treatment, with no objective test available and no known cure, while acknowledging the ongoing efforts of volunteers, researchers, and medical professionals to improve patients' quality of life. Additionally, the resolution calls for increased research, education, and community support to develop more effective treatments and provide better care for those living with Parkinson's disease.
