What are Brain Disorders?
Brain disorders cover a broad range of conditions that disrupt normal brain function. These
include neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, psychiatric disorders such as
schizophrenia, and neurological conditions like epilepsy. Depending on the disorder, symptoms
may involve memory loss, mood changes, seizures, or difficulties with movement and
coordination.
Diagnosing brain disorders typically requires imaging tests, neurological exams, and
assessments of cognitive and behavioral functions. Treatment varies based on the specific
condition and may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery.
Living with a brain disorder is undoubtedly challenging, but with the right treatment and support,
many people can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life.
Continuous research is helping to advance our understanding and improve treatment options for
these complex conditions.
