Essential tremor (ET) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable and rhythmic shaking or trembling in one or more parts of the body while in use most commonly the arms and hands. It tends to occur in families.
It is mild in some people but can become severe, debilitating, and demoralizing. First and foremost, Essential Tremor can begin at any age from ages 1 to 100. ET doesn’t discriminate with age, race, sex, or national origin.
Tremor in the hands can impair the ability to eat, dress, write, and perform household activities and functions in the workplace.
Many people with ET are too embarrassed to go out in public and remain isolated in their homes, which can lead to depression.
