Understanding the Signs and Symptoms of Common Neurological Disorders

The human nervous system is one of the most complex and vital systems in the body. It controls everything from our thoughts and movements to our senses and emotions. When something goes wrong with this intricate system, it can lead to a variety of neurological disorders—each with its own set of symptoms and challenges. Understanding the early signs of these conditions can lead to faster diagnosis and better outcomes.

At Dr. Mohit Anand Clinic, located in Hongkong Market, Sushant Lok 2, Sector 57, Gurugram, we specialize in diagnosing and managing a broad spectrum of neurological conditions. Dr. Mohit Anand is a highly experienced neurologist with a special interest in Movement Disorders, Headaches, Epilepsy, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, and advanced therapies such as Botox treatments and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). With a strong commitment to ongoing education and evidence-based care, Dr. Anand ensures that his patients receive the most up-to-date and effective treatments available.

Let’s explore some of the most common neurological disorders and the signs and symptoms you should never ignore.

Movement Disorders (Including Parkinson’s Disease)

Movement disorders affect the speed, fluency, and ease of body movements. Parkinson’s Disease is one of the most well-known types.

Common Symptoms:

• Tremors, especially at rest.
• Stiffness or rigidity in limbs
• Slowed movement (bradykinesia)
• Imbalance or difficulty walking
• Mask-like facial expression

Early diagnosis can lead to timely interventions such as medications or Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which can significantly improve quality of life.

Headaches and Migraines

While occasional headaches are common, frequent or severe headaches may point to an underlying neurological issue.

Warning Signs

• Intense throbbing pain, often on one side
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Nausea or vomiting
• Aura or visual disturbances before the headache

Proper evaluation by a neurologist is essential to rule out secondary causes and tailor treatment accordingly.

Epilepsy and Seizures

Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Signs to Watch For:

• Temporary confusion or loss of awareness
• Uncontrolled jerking of arms and legs
• Sudden staring spells
• Fear or anxiety for no apparent reason

Dr. Anand offers comprehensive epilepsy care, from diagnosis to long-term management and lifestyle counseling.

Stroke (Brain Attack)

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Immediate care can save lives and prevent permanent disability.

Classic Symptoms Include:

• Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
• Trouble speaking or understanding speech
• Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes
• Severe headache with no known cause
• Loss of coordination or balance

Time is brain—seek emergency care immediately if you or someone around you experiences these symptoms.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

MS is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the protective covering of nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and body.

Common Signs:

• Numbness or weakness in limbs
• Blurred or double vision
• Tingling or electric-shock sensations
• Fatigue and dizziness
• Problems with bladder control

MS can be managed with the right combination of medication and lifestyle adjustments, which Dr. Anand provides through personalized care plans.

When to See a Neurologist

If you or a loved one is experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is crucial not to delay medical consultation. Neurological disorders can often be subtle in the beginning but may progress rapidly without appropriate intervention.

At Dr. Mohit Anand Clinic, we are committed to providing patient-focused, compassionate, and advanced neurological care.
