A neurologist is a physician who specializes in neurology, and is trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat neurological disorders.
Neurology is the medical specialty related to the human nervous system. The nervous system encompasses the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. A specialist physician who treats patients suffering from neurological disease is called a neurologist. Related yet distinct fields of medicine include: psychiatry, neurosurgery and their subspecialties.
You can ask your GP or another healthcare professional for a second or further opinion (an opinion about your health condition from a different doctor). Although you do not have a legal right to a second opinion, a healthcare professional will rarely refuse to refer you for one.
Sigmund Freud began his professional career as a neurologist. He worked at Vienna General Hospital, where he conducted research and treated patients with neurological disorders. Freud's experiences in neurology and hypnosis later influenced his development of psychoanalysis.
yes, a brain surgeon is the same thing as a neurosurgeon, it is just another way of saying it, but you don't see too many surgeons saying brain surgeon!
Valium, Halcion, to name a few. In fact, however, I don't know if there is one that inhibits REM. Having said that, certain drugs have different effects depending on the user. But if you haven't already, I would definitely experiment with your doctor's approval ones that work for you. There may also be an undiscovered, underlying cause for your absent or lack of REM which would be better diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist or neuroligist. Hope this helps. Best, Richie
