Doctors reveal condition that could be behind Biden's bizarre 'freezing' episodes... after 81-year-old has second statue moment in one week

President Joe Biden's advanced age is a major sore point heading into the upcoming election. And the 81 year-old's recent spate of public gaffes are raising more concerns.

But now, experts speculate his freezing could be a sign of a handful of a serious condition.

A Los Angeles-based doctor said: 'Frozen, masked faces, diminished arm swing, less frequent blinking, [are] likely due to a central neurological disorder like Parkinson's.'

Commenting on neurodegenerative disorders in general and not specifically on the president's condition, Dr Ziad Nasreddine, a neurologist who invented the gold-standard cognitive test, previously told DailyMail.com slurred speech is seen in Parkinson's — which affects levels of brain hormones that are involved in movement.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in older adults after Alzheimer's.

While the public may speculate, Biden nor anyone on his team have ever proposed or confirmed he has Parkinson's. 

More than 90,000 people in the US are diagnosed with the condition every year, most of who are men over 60.

While symptoms such as tremors are well known, Parkinson's disease can also cause stiffness and problems with moving the limbs and face, as well as slurred speech.

It is also known to cause cognitive impairment — affecting memory, concentration and even mood.

Symptoms of the disease worsen with time and there is no cure. The disease itself is not fatal, but patients can die from complications of it, such as pneumonia, heart disease, falls, choking or urinary tract infections.

Would explain why Biden looks like his mind is trapped in his body at times.

The lack of hand shaking which is the hallmark of Parkinson's is missing.

Could be onset, but my 2 dollars are  still on old fashioned alzheimer dementia.

Joe Biden acts just like my late father in the last three years of his life, who died at 69 of early onset Lewy Body dementia. Even the incident the other day, where Joe couldn't figure how to get into a car, was almost identical to what I witnessed with my father.
