Pampering The State Of A Fragile Mind

I deem the brain to be the beautiful work of science in progress, our most beneficial aspect of being human, and the center core of our learning capabilities.  

The Brain  
 
The brain is an organ that serves as the center of our nervous system as a component to our general well being it is found in humans and all vertebrates and various invertebrate animals.  
 
What is the significant that makes this living organ so valuable to mankind.  
 
When the brain is in its natural habitant of great health. It serves as a sensory gran for numerous functions, one blessing, it plays a key in our vison. For the most complex organ, which the commitment to make our existence much easier, when we think and when we act.  
 
What happens when the brain has been medically compromised, when it cannot adapt in its most transmitted efficacy?  
 
I will explore the uncertain possibilities if you adhere as being a committed healthy individual, and then diagnosed with a medical condition that hinders your general welfare.  
 
Mental Illness  
 
I used that term loosely and indirectly, regarding, there are several within society who suffer from several subtextual of mental illness in some form of abnormal cognitive behavioral, modified by mood stabilizers.  
 
Mood Stabilizers  
 
Mood stabilizers are prescribed medicines that treat and prevent the highs (mania) and the lows (depression). It is prescribed in intense cases, whereas someone who seek mental health assistance, who otherwise cannot function in the realm of humanity and cannot be relied upon on their own self-awareness, or medication that can also be used to treat neurological conditions, as in someone who is Epileptic.  
 
In my daily profession, I deal directly with patients who suffer from Bi-poplar, Schizophrenia Effective Disorder, and other genres of Mental illness. Most of these patients, who have been properly diagnosed by a licensed therapist tend to suffer from hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, speech and erratic behavior.  
 
Then you have those diverse disorders that impact learning. Classified as a hindrance, which, if not addressed can impede the capacity that affect the task(s) of the brain. Dyslexia, Intellectual Disability, Developmental disability, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Autism.  
 
I will not elaborate in length on this topic in bearing, I am just generalizing how the brain's grievances can manifest, genetically, or in broader provisions socially, ultimately altering someone’s perception when it pertains to the mechanics of gainful education or knowledge.  
 
When The Neuron Transmitters Of The Brain Misfire
  
Epileptic Seizure (Seizure)  
 
To anyone who has a seizure disorder, my most humbly respect goes out to your continuous adapting to a medical condition, cause by sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It is not fatal, but it can become a burdensome when attempting to live a normal lifestyle, subsequently, I state for a condition whereas, there are no warning signs, when one about to have a seizure. Some people report a sweet taste, prior to an oncoming seizure.  
   
There are certain factors to take into consideration, contributing nuisances to heed  
 
Low blood sugar, alcohol withdrawal, low blood sodium, fever, brain infection, or a traumatic brain injury. Henceforth, those are some of the particular provoking triggers to bring the onset of a seizure, therefore, should be avoidable or medically maintained at all times.  
 
One thing I most note is what is medically labeled a febrile seizure, characterized when an infant/toddler has a fever that has spike to a dangerous reading, due to a possible infection. Most children are considered healthy outside of its occurrence or not known to have any other neurological infection.  
 
Be aware if you are a person who is epileptic, or you care for someone who is epileptic here are some classification so you will become more aware.  
 
Seizures Are Classified Into Two Groups  
 
The first seizure I would like to discuss is what is medically defines as Absence seizures, they are sometimes called petit mal seizures these types of seizures can cause rapid blinking or a few seconds of staring into space, if you notice a child does this often, it is best to discuss its observant with his/her pediatrician, to rule out or to make a proper diagnosis.  
 
Then you have what is known as tonic-clonic seizures, referred to as grand mal seizures, these seizures can make a person, cry out, lose consciousness, most, during this episode will fall to the ground, and in its duration exhibit muscle jerks or spasms. Most people who are having a tonic seizure will want to sleep after, as a result of reported exhaustion.  
 
Defining Seizures And How They Affect The Brain  
   
Simple focal seizures affect a small part of the brain. These seizures can cause twitching or a change in sensation, such as a strange taste or smell.  
 
Complex focal seizures can make a person with epilepsy confused or dazed. The person will be unable to respond to questions or direction for up to a few minutes.  
 
Secondary generalized seizures
begin in one part of the brain, but then spread to both sides of the brain's hemisphere. In other words, the person first will have a focal seizure, followed by a generalized seizure.  
   
Traumatic Brain Injuries  
 
Traumatic Brain Injuries occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when a sharp object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue, in some instance, a swelling to the brain resulting in a brain bleed (when blood vessels in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding inside the brain) it is a commong aftermath in these incidences.  
 
Dementia Disease  
 
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Dementia is a slow debilitating disease of the brain, and the gradual decline of is cognitive tasks and the damage is non-reversable, however, it can be controlled, while giving someone more time to keep the brain neurons from decreasing too fast. I mention this disease become it affects so many in society, mainly your geriatric population. This condition, of the brain, continues to steal away those precious memories and its course is rapid and painful to watch it take place to our loved ones. The medical treatment of Dementia depends on the underlying cause. Neurodegenerative dementias, like Alzheimer’s disease, sadly have no cure.  
 
Leading a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, healthy eating, will decrease any chances of developing chronic diseases and may reduce the mental deterioration of people living with dementia.  
 
I wanted to elaborate on this conditions of the brain, and is medical influx for  members in society who this befalls.  
 
And that is another medical journal worth discussing in general.  
 
Safe say in a world full of total chaos, love with heart, mind, body, and protect the beautiful window of your soul
