Essential Tremor is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary shaking, primarily affecting the hands, but it can also impact the head, voice, and other body parts. This condition often worsens with movement and can be more noticeable during activities like writing or holding objects.
The exact cause of Essential Tremor is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve genetic factors and changes in the brain. While it is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life. Treatment options include medications and, in some cases, surgical interventions.
