Neurologist in Bangalore helps a family come to terms with Epilepsy

“What a beautiful day!” a 30-something Sunil Mukherjee thought to himself while sipping warm honey-flavored tea, sitting in her cozy balcony. After about 10 minutes, when he got up from his chair, he started feeling dizzy. Wondering what was happening to him, he got to the floor, and then it started. He suffered a severe attack of seizure. Thankfully, his wife was home, she immediately dialed up Credihealth to find the nearest available best neurologist in Bangalore. After reaching the hospital, the doctor conducted some tests and diagnosed that Sunil has epilepsy. Sunil then vowed to take better care of his health and lead a healthy life.


Neurology is a branch of medicine known for its complexity and to this date, there are innumerable diseases for which diagnosis is difficult and the treatment remains unknown. It deals with the study of the nervous system- which coordinates and regulates various bodily activities. It’s divided into the Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) and the Peripheral Nervous System. It may seem that the brain and spinal cord which lay deep within protective coverings are immune to harm, however such is not the case.

It has been noted that the causes of neurological disorders may vary from genetic predisposition, brain tumors, and stroke to brain injury. And the symptom encompasses a wide range from physical (disoriented, poor coordination of muscles) to emotional (like mood swings). According to the WHO in 2006, nearly one billion were affected by neurological diseases and as a consequence faced the social stigma and discrimination attached to it. So, it is our responsibility as humans, as family members to accept and attune ourselves to such possibilities and help eradicate the narrow minded thinking.
