What are the symptoms of a neurological disorder?
Symptoms of neurological disorders can vary widely depending on the specific condition but may include headaches, seizures, muscle weakness or paralysis, numbness or tingling, coordination problems, memory loss, changes in vision or speech, and cognitive difficulties.

How are neurological disorders diagnosed?
Neurological disorders are diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, neurological tests (such as reflex tests and nerve conduction studies), imaging tests (such as MRI or CT scans), and sometimes specialized procedures like electroencephalography (EEG) or lumbar puncture.
What treatments are available for neurological disorders?
Treatment for neurological disorders varies depending on the specific condition but may include medication, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, surgical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and supportive care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Can neurological disorders be prevented?
Some neurological disorders may be prevented or their risk reduced through lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, managing stress, wearing protective gear to prevent head injuries, and staying up-to-date on vaccinations (e.g., against infectious diseases that can affect the nervous system).
What is a stroke, and what are its warning signs?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, leading to brain damage. Warning signs of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg (especially on one side of the body), sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and sudden severe headache with no known cause.
