How Dangerous Are Brain and Nervous System Disorder-You Must Know

Overview

Our body consists of many organs and systems, like digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system etc. The main and one of the important systems, which is controlling all these systems is Nervous system. Nervous system has two more systems

CNS and PNS.

Central nervous system (CNS):

Central nervous system consists of brain and spinal cord .Brain plays an important role in controlling almost all functions of our body for e.g. memory, movements, thoughts, sensations, speech and awareness. Some of the reflex movements come with spinal cord pathways without brain structure.

Peripheral nervous system:

It is further divided into autonomic nervous system and somatic nervous system.

All these systems when included together, are known as nervous system, the branch of medicine which studies and treats nervous system, is known as "Neurology" and the doctors who are working in this field are known as neurologist.

Diseases of nervous system are:

When nervous system gets damaged due to illness or some trauma, than the patient gets some disease or problem with its nervous system. Hence it's known as nervous system disorder.

Some of the diseases caused by the nervous system disorder are:

Epilepsy:

In this condition abnormal electrical discharge from brain cell causes seizures. The reasons for epilepsy can be various:

Genetic influence:

There is hereditary factor due to which Epilepsy can occur in a person.

Brain conditions:

Conditions such as brain tumors and strokes can cause damage to brain. Older adults are prone to the strokes which is also one of the reason of elipesy.

Traumas:

Accidents or by other injuries to head and brain can also be the reason for brain trauma and hence it is the biggest cause for epilepsy.

Infectious diseases :

Viral encephalitis, AIDS, meningitis could also be the reason for epilepsy.

Disorders of Development:

Epilepsy and development disorders can be associated together as Neurofibromatosis and autism.

Injuries before birth (Prenatal injuries)

As even before birth adolescents are sensitive to brain damage that could be caused by several circumstances like poor nutrition, deficiency in oxygen and infection in mother of new born.

Alzheimer`s Disease

Viral encephalitis, AIDS, meningitis could also be the reason for epilepsy.

Disorders of Development:

Epilepsy and development disorders can be associated together as Neurofibromatosis and autism.

Injuries before birth (Prenatal injuries)

As even before birth adolescents are sensitive to brain damage that could be caused by several circumstances like poor nutrition, deficiency in oxygen and infection in mother of new born.

Alzheimer`s Disease

Alzheimer`s Disease Which can be a biggest cause for your loss of memory as it wastes away your brain cells. This wastage and loss of brain cells can make a bad impact on one`s life. Due to this problem one can be an easy prey to dementia, which is not good for our thinking, a person cannot work and think as he has to be when he gets dementia. Because it hinders the patient`s ability to work and function independently, as the disease is getting mature day by day. People are getting frequent memory loss and thus it affects his ability to carry out his/her routine task. The visible sign of this disease is when one cannot even remember recent events.

But a person who is very close to the patient, can judge this, that, the patient is suffering from Alzheimer`s disease. People suffering from this disease can suffer from repeating their own statements and keep questioning again and again, about a single thing repeatedly. They even can't remember the very important events and appointments. They forget conversations that had taken place a few minutes back. They forget the names of their close ones, family members, and objects they use every day. Their ability to finding the right words to identify objects, or conversing with people and expressing their thoughts are also hurt.

Even the things which they possess, they cannot remember them easily and often they put themselves in illogical places. The places they mostly visit routinely, hey tend to forget them very easily.

Alzheimer`s disease hinders patient to make decisions and his ability to concentrate on things and about abstract concepts such as numbers. It's very difficult for patients to concentrate and remember them, when the time comes to pay bills on time, finances, and balance checkbooks, especially when you are multitasking. Then the patient has a great difficulty to manage these things properly. when he/she is suffering from Alzheimer`s disease.

Person suffering from Alzheimer's disease can face these problems in his/her routine work

• Mood swings
• Depression
• Apathy
• Distrust in others
• Apathy
• Wandering
• Aggressive and irritable behavior
• Disturbed sleep

As Alzheimer`s disease is one of the very critical disease in nervous disorders, it's not a preventable disease. But you can modify number of lifestyle risk factors for Alzheimer`s disease, not to raise its ugly head. Like your daily lifestyle habits, eating habits, exercise are the some of the steps, which can reduce your risk of acquiring cardiovascular disease as well as your Alzheimer`s disease

Parkinson`s disease:

Its neurological disorder due to which a patient`s body movements can be affected. As the movements of body are regulated smoothly and effectively, by a substance known as "Dopamine," which is found in a part of the brain known "substanita nigra". Person suffering from Parkinson`s disease are prone to loose cells in "substanita nigra." Due to which person`s dopamine level gets reduced, hence his movements of body get affected.

Symptoms of Parkinson`s disease:

1. Handwriting of a person is getting cramped if he is suffering from Parkinson`s disease
2. Decreased ability to smell
3. Voice changes its tone
4. Shaking at rest (Termor)
5. Slow movements
6. Depression
7. Anxiety

Causes of Parkinson`s disease

A.Family history: Person whose family members and close relatives are suffering from it are likely to have this disease.

B.Toxins: Exposure to toxins, people who are more exposed to toxins are also having this disease.

C.Head injury: Injury to head may also be one of the causes for Parkinson`s disease.

Stroke:

When bleeding in brain occurs, blood vessel which carries oxygen and nutrition to brain get blocked by a clot or brusts

Treatment for nervous disorders with herbs and home remedies:

1. Coconut oil:

Caprylic acid is a fatty acid which is present in coconut oil. As our body has ability to break down caprylic acid into "ketone," a protein. Coconut oil enhances blood concentration of keytone, thus provides energy to the brain cells, making them healthy. Perishing of nervous disorders like Alzheimer's disease becomes inevitable.

2. Coral calcium

It is derived from seashells and is very beneficial for healing nervous disorders.

3. Omega-3 fatty acids:

Omega-3 fatty acids are also known to be used for treating nervous disorders. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid found in processed coconut oil. The human body breaks down caprylic acid into the protein ketone. A similar protein is used in a drug called Ketasyn.
