About #Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare and progressive neurological disorder that damages nerve cells in the brain. It primarily affects body movements, balance, eye movements, speech, and swallowing, often leading to frequent falls and cognitive changes. PSP is sometimes misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's due to overlapping symptoms.
