I spotted a woman who shakes her head while speech. I wonder which disease or malformation leads to such sympthom. I didn't notice any other sympthoms.

It's a common mannerism in America. Thought it might mean believing the opposite of what's said... but I can't decode it. They seem unconscious of it. Maybe comes from stage behaviour of looking around the audience?
So the Indian headshake is performed by the listener. What of headshaking by the one giving a monologue? Especially where the (apparent "no") shake accompanies positive statements?
EDIT: Anything to my guess that it's a sort of oratory device like gazing around an audience to reinforce a statement..?
Ok, but this woman wasn't from India, but Europe.
How old was she? Early Parkinson's or another kind of tremor?
There is a condition known as 'essential tremor'.
Essential tremor | Better Health ChannelSummary
Essential tremor is a neurological (nervous system) disorder that causes involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body, usually the head and hands. The cause is unknown, although a genetic link is strongly suspected. Essential tremor is not a form of Parkinson's disease. Triggers may include emotional stress, caffeinated drinks, alcohol or insufficient sleep. There is no cure.
