Fact sheet N°265 December 2001. Mental and neurological disorders. Twentyfive per cent of individuals develop one or more mental
http://www.who.int/entity/mediacentre/factsheets/fs265/en/

Extractions: December 2001 Twenty-five per cent of individuals develop one or more mental or behavioural disorders at some stage in life, in both developed and developing countries. The following disorders can now be diagnosed reliably and accurately as the most common physical disorders; some can be prevented, all can be successfully managed and treated. Depression Depression is a common mental disorder characterized by sadness, loss of interest in activities and by decreased energy. Depression is differentiated from normal mood changes by the extent of its severity, the symptoms and the duration of the disorder. Suicide remains one of the common and often unavoidable outcomes of depression. If depressive episodes alternate with exaggerated elation or irritability they are known as bipolar disorder. Depressive disorders and schizophrenia are responsible for 60% of all suicides. The causes of depression can vary. Psychosocial factors, such as adverse living conditions, can influence the onset and persistence of depressive episodes. Genetic and biological factors can also play a part. Prevalence: An estimated 121 million people currently suffer from depression. An estimated 5.8% of men and 9.5% of women will experience a depressive episode in any given year. These figures can, however, vary across different populations.

Extractions: English ne in every four people, or 25% of individuals, develop one or more mental or behavioral disorders at some stage in life, both in developed and developing countries. These disorders can now be diagnosed as reliably and accurately as most of the common physical disorders. Some disorders can be prevented; all can be successfully managed and treated. The World Health Report 2001 focuses on a number of common disorders. These include depression, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimers disease, mental retardation and disorders of childhood and adolescence. DEPRESSION What is depression? Depression, sometimes referred to as unipolar depression, is a common mental disorder characterized by sadness, loss of interest in activities and by decreased energy. Depression is differentiated from normal mood changes that are part of life by the extent of its severity, the symptoms and the duration of the disorder. Suicide remains one of the common and often avoidable outcomes of depression. If depressive episodes alternate with exaggerated elation or irritability they are known as bipolar disorder. Depressive disorders and schizophrenia are responsible for 60% of all suicides. The causes of depression vary. Psychosocial factors, such as adverse living conditions, can influence the onset and persistence of depressive episodes. Genetic and biological factors also play a part.
NINDS Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Information Page
Information sheet on this disease compiled by NINDS, the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/vonhippe_doc.htm

Extractions: Treatment for VHL varies according to the location and size of the tumor and its associated cyst. In general, the objective of treatment is to treat the growths when they are causing symptoms but while they are still small so that they do not cause permanent problems by putting pressure on the brain or spine, blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the nervous system, or impairing vision. Treatment of most cases of VHL usually involves surgery to remove the tumors before they become harmful. Certain tumors can be treated with focused high-dose irradiation. Individuals with VHL need careful monitoring by a physician and/or medical team familiar with the disorder.

NINDS Batten Disease Information Page
Information sheet compiled by NINDS, the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/batten.htm

Extractions: Batten disease is a fatal, inherited disorder of the nervous system that begins in childhood. In some cases, the early signs are subtle, taking the form of personality and behavior changes, slow learning, clumsiness, or stumbling. Symptoms of Batten disease are linked to a buildup of substances called lipopigments in the body's tissues. Lipopigments are made up of fats and proteins. Because vision loss is often an early sign, Batten disease may be first suspected during an eye exam. Often, an eye specialist or other physician may refer the child to a neurologist. Diagnostic tests for Batten disease include blood or urine tests, skin or tissue sampling, an electroencephalogram (EEG), electrical studies of the eyes, and brain scans.

NINDS Barth Syndrome Information Page
Information sheet compiled by the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/barth.htm

Extractions: Barth syndrome is a rare congenital metabolic and neuromuscular disorder that affects boys. It is passed from mother to son through the sex-linked, or X, chromosome. Symptoms affect multiple systems of the body and may include changes to metabolism, motor delays, hypotonia (reduced muscle tone), delayed growth, cardiomyopathy (leading to a poorly functioning heart), weakened immune system, chronic fatigue, lack of stamina, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), mouth ulcers, diarrhea, and varying degrees of physical and learning disability. Boys with the disorder also have fewer white blood cells (a condition called neutropenia), which may lead to an increased risk for serious bacterial infections. Barth syndrome affects at least 50 families worldwide, but there is evidence that it is underdiagnosed. On average 50 percent of children born to a carrier mother will inherit the defective gene, but only boys will have symptoms. All daughters born to an affected male will be carriers.

NINDS Agnosia Information Page
Information sheet compiled by the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/agnosia.htm

Extractions: Agnosia is a rare disorder characterized by an inability to recognize and identify objects or persons despite having knowledge of the characteristics of the objects or persons. People with agnosia may have difficulty recognizing the geometric features of an object or face or may be able to perceive the geometric features but not know what the object is used for or whether a face is familiar or not. Agnosia can be limited to one sensory modality such as vision or hearing. For example, a person may have difficulty in recognizing an object as a cup or identifying a sound as a cough. Agnosia can result from strokes, dementia, or other neurological disorders. It typically results from damage to specific brain areas in the occipital or parietal lobes of the brain. People with agnosia may retain their cognitive abilities in other areas.

Information sheet about the symptoms, treatment, research and organizations. Compiled by the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/repetitive_motion.htm

Extractions: Treatment for RMDs usually includes reducing or stopping the motions that cause symptoms. Splints may relieve pressure on the muscles and nerves. Medication such as pain relievers, cortisone, and anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce pain and swelling. Physical therapy may relieve the soreness and pain in the muscles and joints. In rare cases, surgery may be required to relieve symptoms and prevent permanent damage. Other treatment options may include taking breaks to give the affected area time to rest, stretching and relaxation exercises, and applying ice to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling. Many companies have developed ergonomic programs to help workers adjust their pace of work and office equipment to minimize problems.

Information sheet compiled the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/schizencephaly.htm

Extractions: Schizencephaly is an extremely rare developmental disorder characterized by abnormal slits, or clefts, in the brain's cerebral hemispheres. Schizencephaly is a form of porencephaly in which there is a cyst or cavity in the cerebral hemispheres. Individuals with clefts in both hemispheres (bilateral clefts) are commonly developmentally delayed and have delayed speech and language skills and corticospinal dysfunction. Individuals with smaller, unilateral clefts (clefts in only one hemisphere) are often paralyzed on one side of the body and may have normal intelligence. Patients with schizencephaly may also have varying degrees of microcephaly (abnormally small head), mental retardation, hemiparesis or quadriparesis (partial or complete paralysis), and reduced muscle tone (hypotonicity). Most patients have seizures. Some may have hydrocephalus.
