The World Health Organization recently released new data on global neurological conditions and their impact on health and disability, affecting more than 1 in 3 people worldwide.

Top conditions include stroke, neonatal encephalopathy, migraine, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, diabetic neuropathy, meningitis, epilepsy, and more.
At MIND, we recognize the impact neurological conditions have on individuals, families, and communities. We’re committed to reducing the pain and challenges they cause—and helping patients live longer, more comfortable lives.

Many of us have heard of epilepsy, but we don’t always understand what it really looks like—or what it’s like to live with it.

An epilepsy episode, or seizure, happens when the brain misfires. They can range from partial (focal) seizures, where a person might stay aware but experience twitching, jerking, or sudden emotional changes, to generalized seizures, which can cause loss of consciousness and full-body movements. Some seizures are subtle—confusion, zoning out, or repetitive movements—making them easy to miss but still impactful.

For the millions of people living with epilepsy, these unpredictable episodes can affect daily life in profound ways. That’s why November is Epilepsy Awareness Month: a time to increase understanding, break stigma, and highlight advances in treatment and support.

If you are concerned about these symptoms and whether it may be epilepsy, see a neurologist at MIND for answers.

November is : International Nerve Pain Awareness Month

Nerve pain, also known as neuropathic pain, affects millions of people around the world from more than 150 different conditions.

Yet, many people with neuropathic pain first see their primary care doctor, where it often goes undiagnosed or undertreated. Only about 2.7% of neurology outpatients are diagnosed, and while most receive treatment, many don’t get the right approach to achieve lasting relief.

At MIND, our fellowship-trained interventional pain specialists use advanced diagnostics and state-of-the-art therapies to pinpoint the source of nerve pain and deliver lasting results.

If you’re experiencing burning, tingling, or shooting pain, don’t wait — talk to your doctor or request a referral to the MIND Interventional Pain Management Center: https://bit.ly/3W6UiPy

This , MIND stands at the forefront of progress in Alzheimer’s detection and treatment. Early detection means earlier intervention.

New FDA-approved tools — including LEQEMBI® IQLIK™, an at-home injection therapy, and Roche’s Elecsys® pTau181, a blood-based biomarker test — are transforming how clinicians identify and treat Alzheimer’s in its earliest stages.

As Dr. Jonathan Fellows explains: “By detecting abnormal biomarkers in the blood, we can more confidently identify individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and guide them toward appropriate testing and early therapeutic options.”

Every advancement brings us closer to earlier intervention, improved outcomes, and renewed hope for patients and families facing Alzheimer’s disease.
