Brain disorders are a group of diseases or medical problems that affect the normal functioning of the brain.

Brain disorders are one of the most complex and challenging issues in the field of health and affect a person's cognitive, emotional and physical performance.... These disorders may be caused by various reasons that we will explain further... ### Genetic and hereditary factors Many brain disorders or **brain diseases** have a genetic origin. For example, diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Down's syndrome are directly related to genetic mutations. Defective genes or hereditary patterns can lead to structural or functional abnormalities in the brain, and these factors are more common especially in people with a family history. Traumatic; One of the causes of brain diseases Direct blows to the head, car accidents, falling from a height or sports injuries can cause severe brain injuries or trauma.... These types of injuries may interfere with the transmission of nerve signals and even cause brain bleeding or even destruction of brain tissues.... Also, in severe cases, these injuries cause coma or permanent neurological disorders.... ### Brain infection Some infectious diseases such as meningitis, encephalitis or brain inflammation and even some viral infections such as HIV can affect brain function... these infections cause inflammation, destruction of nerve cells and disruption of normal brain function, and timely treatment is vital to control them... ### Metabolic and nutritional factors Metabolic problems such as uncontrolled diabetes cause damage to the blood vessels of the brain and reduce oxygen supply. Also, the lack of vitamins such as B12, which play an important role in the proper functioning of the nervous system, causes the destruction of nerve cells and decreases brain function.... ### drug use and vascular problems Long-term use of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, especially substances such as cocaine and methamphetamine, has a destructive effect on the structure and function of the brain. These substances destroy brain cells and cause various brain disorders, such as reduced memory and cognitive abilities. Vessels, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or blocked arteries also increase the risk of stroke and subsequent disorders... ### Mental disorders, chronic stress and factors Unknown... Chronic stress and mental disorders such as severe depression lead to structural and chemical changes in the brain... These changes reduce the volume of parts of the brain such as the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory and learning... The brain is responsible for controlling all the senses and movements of the body, and its dysfunction causes a wide range of diseases... These disorders can cause various problems, including movement disorders, including memory. An expert in this field should use it... In the following, we will learn about the most common types of brain disorders... ### Alzheimer's; One of the most common brain disorders Alzheimer's is one of the most common brain problems that usually occurs in old age.. This disease causes a gradual loss of memory, cognitive abilities and ultimately a decrease in a person's independence.. Although the exact cause of Alzheimer's is not known, various factors play a role in its occurrence.. Some of these factors are: - Increasing age - Genetics and family history of the disease - Lifestyle ### Parkinson's disorder Parkinson's is a chronic neurological disorder that affects body movements and coordination. The main symptoms of this disease include tremors, slowness of movement, and muscle stiffness. These symptoms are caused by the destruction of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Although there is no definitive treatment for this disease, some methods can be used to prevent its progression: - **Drug therapy**: Parkinson's drugs prevent the progression of this disorder by increasing the level of dopamine in the brain... - **Physiotherapy and occupational therapy:** These treatments improve mobility, balance and daily performance of patients... - **Surgery:** In some cases, surgery may be used to control Parkinson's symptoms ### stroke; A common disorder among Iranians Stroke is one of the most important causes of death and disability in Iran... This brain disorder occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off or its blood flow decreases... As a result, oxygen and nutrients do not reach the brain cells and they die... ### Brain tumor Brain tumors are actually cells that grow abnormally in the brain and may be benign or malignant.. By pressing on the brain tissue, these tumors disrupt the normal functioning of the brain, and its symptoms include headaches, seizures, and behavioral changes... ### Concussion Disorder Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to injuries caused by severe blows to the head. These injuries can be mild or severe and have major effects on brain function. Disorders caused by traumatic brain injury cause a wide range of problems. Some of these functional problems include: - **Memory problems:** Damage to parts of the brain such as the hippocampus may cause the loss of short-term memory or even the inability to store new memories.. Cognitive function: ** People with TBI may experience problems with concentration, decision-making, problem solving and analytical abilities... - ** Movement or sensory disorders:** In more severe cases, movement disorders, speech problems and even permanent changes in the senses of sight or hearing also occur... ### Down syndrome disorder Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in a person... This disorder causes problems in a person's mental and physical functioning..
