Getting To Know The Symptoms And Causes Of Parkinson's Diseases That Ozzy Osbourne Suffers

JAKARTA - The music world is grieving the departure of legendary musician and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. His health has indeed declined over the past few years due to a number of illnesses, one of which is Parkinson's.

Ozzy first told the public that she had a Stage 2 Parkinson's in 2020, while appearing on television show Good Morning America. However, several media outlets say that actually Ozzy has been affected by this disease since 2003.

"I'm not going to die because of Parkinson's. I've been battling the disease for most of my life," said Ozzy, quoted from the Page Six page.

Ozzy also mentioned that five years against Parkinson was a very difficult time for him. In February 2025, through his ceremony at SiriusXM, he revealed that he could no longer walk because of the disease.

"I made it to 2025. I can't walk, but do you know what I thought during the holidays? Despite all my complaints, I'm still alive," he said.

Reporting from the Mayo Clinic page, parkinson is a nervous system that affects the movement of the body. This disease develops gradually and can get worse over time. Although there is no cure for healing, proper treatment can help sufferers live a better life.

Symptoms of Parkinson

The symptoms of Parkinson's can vary from person to person and usually appear slowly. Here are some common symptoms that often appear:

1. Tremble

Hands or fingers are shaking, especially while resting. It can also occur in the legs or jaw.

2. Movement becomes slow (bradykinesia)

Parkinson's sufferers will feel that their bodies are moving slower, so simple things like getting out of a chair, dressing, or taking a bath feel more difficult and longer.

3. Muscles feel stiff

The body feels stiff and painful, and it is difficult to move freely.

4. Posture body bends and easily loses balance

This posture can make the sufferer easier to fall.

5. Change of voice and handwriting

The sound can be slow, fast, or sounds flat. Handwriting can also shrink and be difficult to read.

6. Sleep disorders and memory problems

Often wakes up at night, sleep doesn't sound well, or even behave strangely while sleeping. In the long term, concentration problems can arise to dementia.

Causes of Parkinson's

It is not yet known exactly what is the main cause of this disease, but there are several things that are suspected to be triggers:

1. Lack of dopamine

Parkinson's occurs when brain cells that produce dopamine (chemicals important to control body movements) are damaged or dead. This lack of dopamine causes symptoms of Parkinson's symptoms.

2. Derived factors

Although rare, Parkinson's can be reduced. If there are family members who suffer from this disease, the risk of being exposed could be higher.

3. Neighborhood

Exposure to toxins such as pesticides or certain chemicals for a long time is thought to increase the risk of getting Parkinson's disease, although it is not certain to be the main cause.
