Say the word 'migraine' to most people and they will immediately think 'headache'. But headache is just one of a range of symptoms that characterise migraine, which is a neurological condition. Migraine is an intermittently occurring, mainly unilateral, pulsating headache of moderate to severe intensity which can be aggravated by routine physical activity. Its other symptoms can include nausea and vomiting, extreme sensitivity to light (photophobia), sound (phonophobia) and smells (osmophobia) and in some cases, visual disturbances such as flashing lights, blind spots in the vision and zig-zag patterns before the eyes.
Dementia is a progressive brain dysfunction which results in a restriction of daily activities and in most cases leads in the long term to the need for care. Many diseases can result in dementia, the most common one being Alzheimer's disease.
Epilepsy is a serious and generally recurrent brain disorder. As a matter of fact, brain cells panic and fire off uncoordinated commands to the rest of the body.
Most people know epilepsy in its most ‘spectacular’ sense, as an illness in which the patient suffers from so-called seizures , causing him or her to fall onto the floor, shake uncontrollably, foam at the mouth or urinate.
