Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare brain disorder that affects movement, balance, speech, and eye control. One of the most unique symptoms is difficulty moving the eyes up and down, which can make reading, walking, and even eating more challenging.
Other common symptoms include:
- Sudden falls backwards.
- Stiffness and slowed movement.
- Changes in speech or swallowing.
💡 Takeaway: Recognizing PSP early is important, as it looks similar to Parkinson’s at first but has different care needs. Education helps families and caregivers adapt the right strategies.
