What Is a Masked Face?
A masked face or facial masking, also known as hypomania, is a common sign of Parkinson’s disease. In general, there are 42 separate muscles on our face. They are used to show various emotions, such as confusion, disappointment, happiness, and more. When a masked face occurs, it affects both involuntary and voluntary movements on the face. As a result, you cannot control facial expressions as usual. This may cause a huge difference between what you are saying or thinking with what your face is showing to other people. In the long term, a masked face may affect the connection and relationships with friends, colleagues, and family. [2]
