The human brain is a topic that has intrigued creators throughout history. They imagine creative scenarios involving the keeping, transplanting, and removal of this organ. The reason that creators find it fascinating is its association with our thoughts.
 
Our brain is the center of our nervous system. As such, it controls most of the functions in our body. However, some functions, like the heart pumping blood, happens independently of the brain. 
 
Brains are susceptible to damage, disease, and infection. It is vulnerable to degenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. It is also susceptible to psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and depression. Many of the conditions that affect our brains are hereditary. What this means is, we are genetically predisposed to them. Knowing your medical history is a great way to protect this central organ. Doctors use medical imaging, like EEGs, to scan the brain and make accurate diagnoses. Doctors treat some of its conditions can with therapy, instead of medication.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Pregnancy is when a woman is carrying a child inside her womb for up to 40+ weeks before giving birth to a baby. This time is known as the gestation period. The embryo develops over the first eight weeks after conception, after which time it is then referred to as the fetus. The length of pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. The first trimester is from fertilization of the egg with sperm (conception), -12 weeks in the womb, the second trimester is week 13 – 28 and the third is weeks 28 – 40+ after which the baby is born.

Pregnancy is the way we reproduce. It comes about by either sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Symptoms include missed periods, nausea or vomiting, loss and gain or appetite, frequent urination and tender breasts.

Every pregnancy will be experienced differently. Some women will feel all the symptoms, and other hardly any. Some women may have complications during pregnancy and others not. If you suspect you may be pregnant, you can go to the doctor for an official test, or take a home test, after which you'll need to see a doctor to confirm and then begin the prenatal care for the remainder of your pregnancy.

Mental health is a state of psychological and emotional well-being. It can also be seen as the absence of mental illness. A healthy brain is important for people of all ages. However, the prognosis for many patients dealing with mental illness is pretty good, and many people live healthy and happy lives by effectively managing their symptoms.

Just like medicine that is focused on physical ailments, there are varying degrees of severity to mental illnesses. Some illnesses range from very minor to extremely debilitating. And just like physical ailments, the sooner a patient can be accurately diagnosed and receive treatment, the better.

Maintaining good mental health and wellness is beneficial, but not easy. There can be a lot of reasons why a person develops a mental illness. The cause could be genetic, environmental, stress-based, situational, or the result of unresolved past trauma.

Unlike physical ailments, there is a stigma behind mental illness due to the fact that it is fairly invisible. You never know who is dealing with what unless they choose to tell you. In addition to this, it's a newer school of medicine than physical ailments and is constantly evolving and being re-written. The mental health section of Facty Health is a good place to learn more about specific mental illnesses, their symptoms, and their treatments.

What Is an Anxiety Disorder?

The pancreas is an organ that aids in digestion by releasing enzymes into the intestines and hormones into the blood stream. Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed. Sometimes the inflammation is short-lived—for instance, when the tube to the intestines becomes blocked by a gallstone; this is called acute pancreatitis. Other times, the inflammatory process persists and can become progressive, over time leading to irreversible damage to the pancreas; this is called chronic pancreatitis.
&lt;br&gt;
The primary symptom of pancreatitis is abdominal pain, which can range from mild to severe. A severe case of acute pancreatitis can cause debilitating pain, but with treatment or resolution of the underlying cause, the inflammation and pain go away and there is little to no permanent damage to the pancreas. While the pain of chronic pancreatitis may be more mild, it tends to be longer-lasting and can significantly lower the individual’s quality of life. Other symptoms of pancreatitis include diarrhea, fatty stools, nausea and vomiting, and unexplained weight loss.
&lt;br&gt;
Treatment depends upon the cause of the pancreatitis and may include surgery to remove a gallstone or cessation of alcohol use, with pain medication taken to manage the pain.

Fitness is a condition that helps people feel and do their best. Fitness helps our bodies perform what we need, whether it is enjoying a walk, doing household tasks or running a marathon. When you set your fitness goals, you should consider your skills, age, fitness level and health. When you start out slowly, you will slowly progress to the higher levels.

&nbsp;
Whether you are new to fitness or a fitness-guru, you should always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. A warm-up includes ten to fifteen minutes of low-intensity activity, such as jogging, walking, arm circles, trunk rotations or knee lifts. A cool-down includes ten minutes of low-level exercise, slow walking and stretching. As a rule of thumb, you should try to perform moderate intensity activity most days of the week, for example, do brisk walking.

&nbsp;
Fitness is available to anyone. Everyone can increase their level of fitness if they have motivation and willingness to adjust their lifestyle to their fitness goals.
