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.

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.

Muscles aren't just for weight lifting. They serve important purposes in your body. The muscular system allows you to move freely and stand up straight. The heart, one of the most important muscles of all, pumps blood throughout your entire body. Some muscles you can control and others, like your heart, are completely autonomous. Reflexes and small muscle contractions allow you to coordinate and balance with little mental effort. For example, during a road collision, your muscles may direct you safely through reflexes faster than your brain can think of a solution.

&nbsp;

A muscle is made from strong, but elastic tissue. Depending on how you exercise, certain muscles can be stiffer or more flexible than others. Muscles are susceptible to tearing, pulling, and soreness. When exercising it is important to not push your muscles too hard. While soreness can feel like a sign of a successful workout, excessive soreness is never a good thing.

Too much sitting can cause a range of health issues. For some people, however, sitting or reclining is the treatment, rather than the cause, of a health condition. Orthostatic intolerance is triggered by standing up and often occurs alongside other illnesses.
