There are more than 600 different conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. These are called neurological conditions.
A neurological condition is any condition that affects the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. Many are well-known, such as stroke, dementia, cluster headaches and ADHD. There are also hundreds of conditions that only affect an unlucky few, such as trigeminal neuralgia, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and Huntington’s disease. Some neurological conditions can begin suddenly, such as brain injury. Some you are born with, such as epilepsy. Others, like multiple sclerosis, can develop over time.
The Brain Charity is the only charity in the UK to be here for every single one of them. The Brain Charity provide practical help, emotional support, and social activities to thousands of people from all over the UK. They support anyone based in the UK who has a neurological condition, and their family, friends, and carers too.
