What Are The Different Types Of Neurological Disorders?

 Neurological disorders are associated with the dysfunction of the brain or the spinal cord i.e nervous system. These can be physical or psychological. As per research, there are more than 600 types of such disorders that can result as per the intensity of the dysfunction or damage. Due to the vast development in the tools and techniques of neurology treatments, it is somehow possible to treat these or reduce the intensity. Here we will get information about some of the common neurological disorders that need clinical care and proper treatment on time.

Alzheimer’s 

Alzheimer’s disease is one kind of dementia and it affects the memory, thinking, and behaviour of a person. One should understand that its symptoms would gradually grow severe and would interfere with the daily routine and even normal tasks. It is a progressive disease, which worsens with time.

Epilepsy

It is a disorder of the brain and is also known as a seizure disorder. It is diagnosed when the patient has two or more seizures. It is usually a short change in the normal brain activity of the person affected and is the main signal of epilepsy.

Migraines

A migraine is a headache and usually causes severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation on one side of the head. It is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. 

Parkinson’s disease

It is a progressive nervous disorder that affects the nervous system and parts of the body controlled by the nerves of the nervous system. It may start developing slowly, maybe with a tremor in the hand. The disorder may lead to stiffness or slowing down of body movements gradually. This disorder is mainly caused by a loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra, part of the brain responsible for producing dopamine, a chemical.

Multiple Sclerosis

 It is a disease in which the immune system eats away the protective covering of nerves and the damaged nerves lead to disruption of the communication between the body parts and the brain. The symptoms may include vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination amongst parts of the body. However, regular physiotherapy and medications may help to suppress the symptoms, as well as slow down the progression of the disease.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral is related to the brain, and palsy means weakness or disorders. CP or cerebral palsy consists of a group of disorders that can affect a person’s ability to move, and maintain body balance or posture. It is one of the most common motor disabilities, especially in childhood.
