FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ How can I tell the difference between neurological and psychiatric disorders?
Neurological disorders have an organic cause and can often be identified through imaging tests such as MRI or EMG.
Psychiatric disorders, on the other hand, are linked to neurotransmitter imbalances and psychological factors.
However, many conditions overlap, requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
2️⃣ Can anxiety be caused by a neurological condition?
Yes, some neurological diseases, such as temporal lobe epilepsy or Parkinson’s disease, can manifest with anxiety or panic symptoms.
