  With so many medical specialities, it’s so obvious for people to get confused about whom to consult for their medical problems, especially when it is your neurological problems. It becomes tough to distinguish doctors according to their field of specialization. Something that makes this thing even more difficult is terminologies that sound similar in nature. But don’t worry; this article is here to help you decide which Specialist you should consult according to your neurological disorder. As Neurosurgery and neurology are often misunderstood as one and the same thing, people get confused with the two. In Medical, every speciality has two branches, the first one is the medicine branch and the other one is surgical.  Neurosurgeons  and  Neurologists  are doctors who specialize in the treatment of medical problems that affect the central nervous system of the human body. The central nervous system is consist of the spinal cord and brain, it controls most functions of the body. What is

  The most complex organ of human body is its brain. Our brain needs constant supply of oxygen and blood to function properly. But once, there is a disruption in the supply of blood to the brain cells, it leads to lack of oxygen and glucose in the brain that causes brain death within a couple of minutes. Brain stroke which is also known as stroke or cerebrovascular accident is a medical condition in which blood supply to a portion of the brain ceases or decreases and due to the severe interruption in the blood supply the brain cells starts dying quickly because of the lack of oxygen and vital nutrients creating a medical emergency. The inability of neurons to regenerate causes permanent damage or irreversible consequences. It (stroke) can also be said as blood vessel disorder in the brain. A brain stroke can happen suddenly or without warning. There are 1 million people in India who have brain stroke every year. The brain stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the USA. The t

  Around 65 billion people have epilepsy all over the world. There are almost 150,000 new cases of epilepsy that are diagnosed every year in the USA. The risk of developing epilepsy for people before the age of 20 is 1% i.e. 1 in every 100 people. Anyone can get affected with epilepsy. It affects the many parts of a person’s life. A larger part of the population gets affected with epilepsy, a disease that has no cure, but with different strategies and medications, it can be controlled. But before we get into its treatment and symptoms, let’s find out what this disease is? What is epilepsy? Epilepsy is a chronic disease (long-term disease). It is a disorder during which neuron activity within the brain is disturbed, causing seizures. It is a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures that can range from mild to severe. Seizures are a sudden rush of electrical activity within the brain. Epilepsy can occur because of a gen
