What is progressive supranuclear palsy( PSP)?
2
Progressive supranuclear palsy( PSP) is an adult-onset, neurological disease that impacts movement, thinking, speech, and vision. PSP is commonly referred to as an“ atypical parkinsonism,” or sometimes“ Parkinson’ s-plus” diagnosis, because of its overlap of certain symptoms with Parkinson’ s disease. However it often progresses quite differently than Parkinson’ s disease, and it shares similar pathology to Alzheimer’ s and frontotemporal dementia.
