Why are global Parkinson's disease cases projected to skyrocket to 25.2 million by 2050?In this episode, we explore an ingenious "bathtub analogy" to explain this massive growth. We break down the "inflow" of new cases (driven by aging populations, environmental risks, and better diagnoses) and the "outflow" (where improved survival rates keep overall numbers high).Tune in to find out why our healthcare systems are at risk of "overflowing" and the urgent need for new preventative and curative solutions!
