What Helps Headaches? How to Relieve Headaches?

Headaches, one of the most common health problems, can affect people of all ages and genders. Affecting approximately half of the world's population, headaches are more common in women compared to men. A headache can occur when various tissues and nerves, such as the head and neck muscles, as well as the ear, nose, throat, arteries, veins, and the periosteum (a membrane covering the bones), are compressed, strained, or displaced. This condition, which can significantly reduce a person's quality of life, may at times become severe enough to disrupt daily activities. The International Headache Society (IHS) classifies all types of headaches into 14 main categories and over 100 subgroups. In other words, headaches encompass a wide range of conditions. However, 90% of all headaches are caused by migraine and tension-type headaches.

What is Alzheimer's Disease? Symptoms and Treatment

Alzheimer's disease, one of the types of dementia commonly referred to as senility, is caused by the death of brain cells that occurs over time. Alzheimer's leads to a decrease in cognitive functions and is one of the most common types of dementia in society. As a neurological disease, Alzheimer's results in the loss of brain cells. Due to cell loss, the brain shrinks and reduces in size. In the early stages, the disease causes simple forgetfulness, but as it progresses, the person gradually forgets recent events. Over time, the individual may become unable to recognize their close surroundings and family members and may struggle to control their emotions and thoughts. Alzheimer's symptoms, which are often seen after the age of 60, develop gradually. Therefore, the initial stage of the disease may not be noticeable to the person or their loved ones. However, as the disease progresses, it eventually leads to an inability to perform daily activities.

What is Aphasia, its Types, Diagnosis, and Treatment

The brain has many different areas responsible for controlling daily behaviors. Among these areas are those that help with understanding, speaking, and maintaining communication. Trauma occurring in specific regions responsible for these tasks can result in acquired dysfunction, leading to difficulties in understanding and speaking. This anomaly, often resulting from an illness, is called aphasia. Aphasia can vary depending on the person's ability to perceive the tools used for speaking, understanding, and communication. In the most common types of aphasia, patients may not be able to understand what is being said or may give meaningless responses to what they hear. Aphasia is one of those conditions that, with accurate diagnosis, treatment, and a positive effect from both the patient and their caregivers on the recovery process, can be reversible.
