Neurological diseases and disorders are those that affect the brain spine and nerves that connect them.There are more than 600 diseases of the nervous system, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and stroke as well as less familiar ones such as frontotemporal dementia. Environmental factors are suspected of playing a large role in both the onset and severity of both diseases, in addition to genetics, aging, and other factors. One can have trouble moving, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning and have problems with memory, senses, or mood.

The causes of such dysfunction can be quite diverse. Both the spinal cord and brain are insulated by numerous membranes that can be vulnerable to force and pressure. The peripheral nerves located deep under the skin can also be vulnerable to damage. Neurological disorders can affect an entire neurological pathway or a single neuron. Even a small disturbance to a neuron’s structural pathway can result in dysfunction. As a result, neurological disorders can result from a number of causes, including:
- Lifestyle-related causes
- Infections
- Genetics
- Nutrition-related causes
- Environmental influences
- Physical injuries
While many people often first look for physical symptoms of a disorder, it is important to understand that there can also be emotional symptoms of neurological problems. For instance, you might experience mood swings or sudden outbursts. Individuals who suffer from neurological problems may also experience depression or delusions.
It should be understood that these symptoms could also be indicative of other disorders and conditions. If you have noticed these symptoms in yourself or someone close to you, it is important to seek help right away. Please contact us at to speak to someone about your situation.
