1. An individual is said to be constantly suffering from seizures from time to time. Explain what particular body system is affected and why?
2. How would you encourage people not to make fun of someone who has neurological disorder or ailment?
The epilepsies are chronic neurological disorders in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally and cause seizures. Neurons normally generate electrical and chemical signals that act on other neurons, glands, and muscles to produce human thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Other therapies such as speech therapy and occupational therapy may also have a role depending on the symptoms. For patients with motor symptoms such as limb weakness, gait problems or movement disorder, physical therapy from a therapist who understands something of FND can be helpful.
