What is Neurology?

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists diagnose and treat conditions such as strokes, headaches, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The field overlaps significantly with psychiatry, as many neurological disorders can present with psychiatric symptoms, making it essential for psychiatrists to have a solid understanding of neurology.
