Emergency Neurology

Neurology literally translates as "the doctrine of nerves" (from the Greek nevro – nerve and logos – science). In a broader sense, neurology is the field of medicine in charge of health nervous system, central and peripheral. Accordingly, neurologists are doctors who study the causes and features of nervous diseases, as well as their detection, treatment and prevention. Neurological diseases, which we call the curse of our era, are actually known since since time immemorial: ancient Egyptian healers have already treated such disorders. However , in our time the spread of nervous pathology has acquired the character of an epidemic, which contributes a lot to the general the aging of the world's population. In the Soviet years, doctors who chose neurology as their specialization were called neurologists, and many people still use this name when talking about neurologists. And everyone understands them, because, in fact, we are talking about the same specialist. But in the West, a neurologist and a neurologist are different doctors. The first treats nervous disorders, the second specializes in pathologies of the development of the nervous system the system. The neuropsychiatrist is the new name of the specialty "psychiatrist", introduced for the convenience of patients. Agree, it is much more comfortable to visit a psychoneurologist's consultation in emotional terms than at a psychiatrist. Psychoses and other mental disorders, as well as various borderline states, are in the professional field of view of a psychoneurologist.
