Progressive Diseases
Progressive diseases are a type of disorder where symptoms worsen with time. They may start out mild, but as the disease progresses, they become more severe and debilitating. These diseases are typically caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. Common examples of progressive diseases include Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Huntington's Disease. As progressive diseases are typically thought to be incurable, the importance of early detection and prevention has become increasingly important. Treatments, such as physical and occupational therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications, can help improve quality of life for those living with a progressive disease.
