Neuromuscular and Neurocognitive Disorders

A wide term used to describe impaired mental function brought on by a medical ailment other than a psychiatric illness is "neurocognitive disorder." The two different categories of cognitive diseases are major and mild neurocognitive disorders. Previously known as Major Neurocognitive Disorder, dementia is a condition. Neurocognitive diseases can impact any aspect of cognition, including memory, attention, learning, language, perception, and social cognition.

Conditions known as neuromuscular diseases damage the nerves that govern your voluntary muscles. These muscles are under the control of neuronal signals. When neurons die or become sick, communication between the nervous system and the muscles is disrupted. At this point, muscles deteriorate and become brittle. Twitching, cramping, aches, pains, joint problems, and problems with mobility are all signs of weak muscles. A list of neuromuscular conditions includes spinal muscular atrophy, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
