Facial Masking

A masked face is a common early sign of Parkinson's that other people may notice first. For example, friends and family may tell the person they always seem to have a serious or angry face, even when they're in a happy or upbeat mood.

While taking certain medications can make a person have a fixed look or be less animated, this "facial mask" should go away after stopping the medicine. If it doesn't, a person should return to their doctor for further investigation.
