Cause #8: Essential Tremor

Essential tremor is also known as idiopathic tremor, benign tremor, or familial tremor. It is a progressive and common neurological disorder that affects movements. Although the cause is still unknown, it most commonly results in tremors of the fingers, hands, or arms.

It can also affect the vocal cords, head, and other parts of the body. It should be distinguished from Parkinson’s disease, which has resting tremor compared to an action tremor. In severe cases, essential tremor can greatly interfere with the individual’s activities of daily living such as dressing, personal hygiene, and feeding. Any form of mental or physical stress can worsen the tremors.
