You will be surprised of the conditions that could afflict this sensitive organ. Some of them are so misunderstood. However, a bit of study is all that you need and perhaps you will understand the victims better.
That frequent headache you always have may not be a mere headache after all. Medical experts say that most of head pains are caused by the malfunctioning of the brain. A headache is just one of the ailments that can be attributed to the improper working of the brain. Some of them are very strange, with some slipping through the hands of the most trained neurologists in the world and some taking considerable amounts of time to get cured.
One of this is Astasia- Abasia, the disease makes the patient to walk as if he is drunk. There is a tendency of him or her to stagger. The patient lacks body balance. It is a very dangerous condition since one can fall down at the slightest expectations of people surrounding them. Its onset is attributed to increased stress. Another weird condition is Dysmimia; a sufferer of this illness can hardly understand simple hand gestures. For instance, ordinary signals like ‘wait’ and ‘stop’ will be not very common to these patients.
An injury to the front part of your brain may cost you a job and even a relationship. The next time somebody close or a colleague says something in public or even to your boss that makes you think they were better quiet, just understand them, it might be a brain condition. A condition known as Verbal Dysdecorum that arises when the front part of the human brain is injured. The patients are known to lose control with words; they cannot just censor themselves. If the injury is extensive they might end up changing their behavior all of sudden. The people around these sufferers would tend to think they are just being naughty. However, this is not the case since they are barely aware of what they might be doing.

Can you find the correct disease?
