List Of Neurological Conditions

There are varied types of neurological conditions that affect the human’s central and peripheral nervous system. In children, neurological conditions mostly occur due to medical issues such as congenital problems (mostly as a result of substance abuse), heredity, toxic chemicals exposure, infections, tumors, trauma, and so forth.

A list of effects from common neurological conditions

The effects from the most common neurological conditions affecting people include the following:

  • Abnormal increase in head size
  • Lack of body coordination
  • Seizures
  • Child development delays
  • Rigidity
  • Severe headaches

Some neurological conditions are as a result of infections such as malaria, meningitis, Ebola and encephalitis. Typically, genetics also play an important role in the development of neurological disorders in humans. Neurological conditions that occur due to genetics are like autism, anencephaly, hydrocephalus and many others.

Common neurological conditions revealed!

Below is an explanation of neurological conditions common in humans and a brief conditional analysis of the same.

  • Sleep issues, for instance, narcolepsy and insomnia: A good night’s sleep is vital to a health working of the human’s system. As such, sleeping disorders lowers the quality of the victim’s life and most of the times endanger their safety as well as other peoples. However, sleeping disorders are treatable. Narcolepsy is the tendency to sleep at most inapt times and invariable daytime’s sleepiness. Insomnia is trouble staying asleep or falling asleep during the normal sleeping time and may be a symptom of a number of health issues.
  • Epilepsy: This is a neurological condition of having numerous repeated seizures that can’t be medically explained.  A seizure is a short episode of uncontrolled body behavior that normally lasts for a few seconds or several minutes. Commonly, seizures are contained by daily use of appropriate medication.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea: This is the repeated collapse of the upper airway. The most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include loss of sleep during the night, snoring while sleeping and regular unexplainable tiredness in the morning.
  • Alzheimer’s: This neurological disease normally attacks the brain’s tissue and cells. It manifests itself with a progressively increasing memory loss that is normally combined with vision loss, language and emotional control issues.
  • Stroke: There are two types of stroke; Ischemic stroke and Hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is a blockage of brain blood vessels while hemorrhagic stroke is bleeding around or into the brain. Instant medical attention is essential for a person who has or is having a stroke so as to restore functions lost due to the subsequent brain’s damages.
  • Multiple Sclerosis: This disorder normally affects the victim’s spinal cord and the brain. The outer layer of the nerves system gets damaged, thereafter interfering with the normal nerve’s signals. Its symptoms include; numbness, unsteady walking, fatigue and double or total loss of vision.
  • Dystonia: This is involuntary tremors of a part of the body and is a common neurological condition that occurs to people who spend years in activities that involve repetitive movements
  • Unexplainable headaches, including migraine headaches: Migraines are recurring throbbing headaches that usually happen on one side of the victims head. Their exact cause is still medically unknown.
  • Parkinsonism: Parkinsonism is slowly and progressive destruction of the brain cells that control the body movement functions.
  • Fibromyalgia or the pain syndrome: This is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, soft tissue tenderness, unexplainable sleep disturbances, pain, stiffness and general fatigue.
