Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of progressive conditions characterized by the gradual degeneration and death of nerve cells, leading to irreversible cognitive, motor, and functional impairments. The most common diseases in this group include Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s Disease (HD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).

Key Features

  1. Progressive Nature: Symptoms worsen over time, with no current cures.
  2. Diverse Impacts: Affects cognition (e.g., memory, language), motor skills (e.g., tremors, weakness), and emotional states (e.g., depression, mood swings).
  3. Complex Causes: Linked to genetic mutations, protein misfolding, oxidative stress, inflammation, and environmental triggers.

Long-Term Challenges

Patient Impact

  • Cognitive Decline: Memory loss, difficulty thinking, and confusion affect daily life.
  • Physical Impairments: Progressive loss of motor function leads to dependence on caregivers.
  • Emotional Strain: Anxiety, depression, and frustration are common.

Caregiver Burden

  • The progressive nature of these diseases often places immense physical, emotional, and financial strain on caregivers over years.

Healthcare System Strain

  • Long-term care requires significant medical resources, including therapy, medications, and rehabilitation.
