Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks of daily living. In most people with AD, symptoms first appear after age 60. AD is the most common cause of dementia among older people, but it is not a normal part of aging. Dementia refers to a decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily life and activities. AD starts in a region of the brain that affects recent memory, then gradually spreads to other parts of the brain. Although treatment can slow the progression of AD and help manage its symptoms in some people, currently there is no cure for this devastating disease. Bell's Palsy: Bell's palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis resulting from damage or trauma to one of the two facial nerves. It is the most common cause of facial paralysis. Generally, Bell's palsy affects only one of the paired facial nerves and one side of the face, however, in rare cases, it can affect both sides. Symptoms of Bell's palsy usually begin suddenly and reach their peak within 48 hours. Symptoms range in severity from mild weakness to total paralysis and may include twitching, weakness, or paralysis, drooping eyelid or corner of the mouth, drooling, dry eye or mouth, impairment of taste, and excessive tearing in the eye. Bell's palsy often causes significant facial distortion. Most scientists believe that a viral infection such as viral meningitis or the common cold sore virus -- herpes simplex-- causes the disorder when the facial nerve swells and becomes inflamed in reaction to the infection.
There are a number of examples of neurological diseases. Some of those examples include Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons, and multiple sclerosis, as well as palsy.
The first most dangerous type is arguably stachybotrys it leads to many terrible symptoms such as bleeding of the lungs. Number two is arguably penicillium, which can lead to neurological diseases.
The patron saints of neurological diseases and disorders are Bartholomew the Apostle and Dymphna.

A group of neurological disorders are usually caused by the damage to the brain. Examples of these neurological disorders are stroke, tumors, vertigo, prion diseases, and multiple sclerosis.Ê
Bartholomew is the patron saint of tanners, leather workers, bookbinders, butchers, and tailors.
often based upon symptoms and exclusion of other neurological diseases. Nerve conduction studies can help distinguish some forms of peripheral neuropathy from motor neuron disease

Lots! Most abnormalities of the brain can be seen on MRI better than on a CAT scan e.g. brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, blood clots and lesions. Neuro science is a complex area with numerous diseases and the MRI has greatly assisted in diagnosing neurological conditions.
A mental disorder is a mental illness or psychological illness. These are things like schizophrenia and depression. A neurological disorder is a disorder of the body's central nervous system. This includes epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. It should be noted that schizophrenia is often characterized as a neurological disorder, and that psychiatric illnesses are characterized as dysfunctions in thought, behavior, or emotion that lead to dysfunction. Neurological disorders are diseases of the nervous system, which can in-turn, lead to psychiatric symptoms.
