Essential tremor and Parkinson's disease are often confused. One main common physical element to both conditions is a tremor. Dr. Rajesh Pahwa, director, Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, compares the two conditions and shares some differences. Special thanks to the Jerry Taylor and Nancy Bryant Foundation for their generous gift that helped make this video possible.

Essential tremor is diagnosed in children as well as adults and it commonly worsens with anxiety and stress. Please see a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders to discuss a treatment plan that might be best for you.
