One in four Parkinson's cases mistaken for being drunk
On average, someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson's disease every hour. It is a condition that affects the brain - slowing movement and causing tremors.
According to a new study, a quarter of people with Parkinson's say they have had their symptoms mistaken for drunkenness.
The charity Parkinson's UK says many people with the disease find themselves being stared at - or laughed at.
The charity is calling on the public to show more patience and understanding.
Jayne McCubbin has been to meet people affected by the disease.
