Dementia is more common as people grow older (about one-third of all people age 85 or older may have some form of dementia) but it is not a normal part of aging. Many people live into their 90s and beyond without any signs of dementia.

• Frontotemporal dementia, a rare form of dementia that tends to occur in people younger than 60. It is associated with abnormal amounts or forms of the proteins tau and TDP-43.

• Lewy body dementia, a form of dementia caused by abnormal deposits of the protein alpha-syncline, called Lewy bodies.

• Vascular dementia, a form of dementia caused by conditions that damage blood vessels in the brain or interrupt the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.

• Mixed dementia, a combination of two or more types of dementia.

The most common dementia diagnosis among older adults. It is caused by changes in the brain, including abnormal build-ups of proteins, known as amyloid plaques and tau tangles

Epilepsy may occur as a result of a genetic disorder or an acquired brain injury, such as a trauma or stroke. During a seizure, a person experiences abnormal behaviour, symptoms and sensations, sometimes including loss of consciousness. There are few symptoms between seizures. Epilepsy is usually treated by medication and in some cases by surgery, devices or dietary changes.

Neuroimaging differs from neuroradiology which is a medical specialty and uses brain imaging in a clinical setting. Neuroradiology is practiced by radiologists who are medical practitioners. Neuroradiology primarily focuses on identifying brain lesions, such as vascular disease, strokes, tumours and inflammatory disease. In contrast to neuroimaging, neuroradiology is qualitative (based on subjective impressions and extensive clinical training) but sometimes uses basic quantitative methods. Functional brain imaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), are common in neuroimaging but rarely used in neuroradiology. Neuroimaging falls into two broad categories: Structural imaging, which is used to quantify brain structure using e,g, voxel based morphometric. Functional imaging, which is used to study brain function, often using fMRI and other techniques such as PET and MEG

Spinal disease refers to a condition impairing the backbone. These include various diseases of the back or spine ("dorso"), such as kyphosis. Dorsalgia refers to back pain. Some other spinal diseases include spinal muscular atrophy, enclosing spondylitis, lumbar spinal stenosis, spine bifida, spinal tumours, osteoporosis and caudal equine syndrome.

Mental health is the psychological condition of someone who is functioning at a higher level of emotional and behavioural condition. Greater than 200 categorized forms of mental illness conditions are there. Mental health includes an individual’s potential to enjoy life and create a balance between normal life activities and efforts to achieve human resilience. It is important in every stage of life, including childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Half of the mental health conditions begin at 14 and the remaining conditions develop by age of 24. Prevention of mental disorder at the young age may significantly decrease the risk that a child will suffer in the later life.

A mental disorder is characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. It is usually associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning. There are many different types of mental disorders.

• Anxiety disorders.


• Behavioural and emotional disorders in children.


• Bipolar affective disorder.


• Depression.


• Dissociation and dissociative disorders.


• Eating disorders.


• Obsessive compulsive disorder.


• Paranoia

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Eating disorders are behavioural conditions characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviours and associated distressing thoughts and emotions. They can be very serious conditions affecting physical, psychological and social function. Types of eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, other specified feeding and eating disorder, pica and rumination disorder.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness characterised by aberrant social behaviour and difficulty distinguishing between what is genuine and what is not. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms affect the majority of people with schizophrenia. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is diagnosed in about 12% of the population. Schizophrenia and OCD are fundamentally unrelated in terms of their causes and symptoms, although they have several characteristics that make a select people more vulnerable to both Contaminations.

• Perfection.


• Doubt/harm.


• Forbidden thoughts

Anxiety disorder due to a medical condition includes symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem. Generalized anxiety disorder includes persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events, even ordinary, routine issues.

Chronic mental illness refers to conditions with persistently debilitating psychiatric symptoms and severely impaired function. Individuals with chronic mental illness suffer from symptoms that may interfere with their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and to participate in work, school, and interpersonal relationships. At times in their lives, these individuals often require significant care from family and from mental health care providers.

Depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sexual violence, domestic violence and escalating rates of substance use affect women than men across different countries and different settings. Pressures created by their multiple roles, gender discrimination and associated factors of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, overwork, domestic violence, and sexual abuse, combine to account for women's poor mental health. When women dare to disclose their problems, many health workers tend to have gender biases which lead them to either over-treat or under-treat women.

Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology concerned with how the cerebrum and the rest of the sensory system interact with an individual's judgement and behaviour. Experts in this field of brain science frequently discuss the psychological and behavioural consequences of mental wounds or illnesses. Behavioural addictions have similar effects on relationships as chemical addictions on relationships, which are frequently overlooked for the habit-forming behaviour, undermining trust and forcing partners and other relatives to hide and compensate for issues arising from the obsession.

Organic or Neuropsychiatry? Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with mental issues resulting from sensory system illnesses. Neuropsychiatry, on the other hand, is a growing specialism of psychiatry that is also closely linked to the sciences of neuropsychology and conduct nervous system science. Neurodevelopmental diseases are impediments to the cerebrum's or potentially focal sensory system's development and improvement. A more limited application of the phrase refers to a mental health issue that affects feelings, learning ability, discretion, and memory as an individual creates and evolves. seizures.
