Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurological conditions can range from common issues like headaches and migraines to more complex diseases such as epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. These disorders can affect movement, speech, memory, behavior, and coordination. Early diagnosis through neurological exams and imaging tests is crucial for effective treatment. Management may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions depending on the condition.
