Treatments: Neuro Problems Related to Children The brain is the only organ which grows and matures over the period of growth so that a child is metamorphosing into an adult. During infancy, they can have delayed development of motor skills with or without speech disturbances. Febrile fits are very common between 6 months to 6 years of age. During childhood, they may have stammering, learning disability, autism, attention deficit hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, temper tantrums, bed wetting, behavioral problems and myopathy. Mind Related Problems Good mind health means being generally able to think, feel and react in the ways that you need and want to live your life. But if you go through a period of poor mental health you might find the ways you're frequently thinking, feeling or reacting become difficult, or even impossible, to cope with. This can feel just as bad as a physical illness, or even worse. Mind health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, Phobia, Psychosis to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

2. Nerve & Muscle Related Problems Diseases affecting a nerve can cause neuropathy. Diabetes, vitamin deficiency, viral infection, auto-immune disease, drugs can cause neuropathy. The patient can have numbness, burning sensation, slippage of chappals and weakness of limbs. Proper treatment of these problems can give a very good relief to the patients. Some patients will have sudden or gradual difficulty in using limbs on one or both sides. They have difficulty in raising the arm above shoulder, gripping objects, lifting weight, climbing stair, getting up from sitting and gripping the chappals with toes. There may be diseases affecting muscle or nerve and they can be diagnosed with nerve conduction study (NCS) and electromyography (EMG). Brain Related Problems Brain disorder is an all-inclusive term for disruption to the brain because of an underlying medical condition, illness or injury. A child with a brain disorder should have a thorough assessment to check for any related mental health conditions.
