Migraine

This complex neurological disorder is a lot more than severe, debilitating head pain. It can come with other symptoms, such as tiredness, changes in mood, and dizziness.

Autism

People with autism experience the world differently. Many may find it challenging to communicate with others, engage in repetitive behaviours, get overwhelmed by bright lights or loud noises, and can sometimes feel anxious or stressed.

Epilepsy

This condition affects the brain and causes seizures, sometimes known as fits, that can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

MS affects the brain and spinal cord. Some of the common symptoms include fatigue, feeling dizzy, and muscle cramps. These symptoms can appear suddenly (a flare-up) and can get worse over time.

Parkinson’s

Usually people over 50 are affected by this condition where parts of the brain become progressively damaged. This loss of brain cells can lead to symptoms such as tremors, slow movement, and stiff muscles.

ADHD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects how someone thinks and behaves. Broadly, it plays out in one of three ways:

• Hyperactive & impulsive: Loud, restless, can be disruptive.
• Inattentive: Easily distracted, often bored, disorganised.
• Combined type: A mix of the two.

Anxiety

Fear, worry, unease, even dread can be natural reactions to stressful situations. But for some, anxiety is more than a passing feeling, and when symptoms persist, this can heavily affect daily life.

Depression

Depression can be a common, yet serious, debilitating mood disorder. Symptoms can range from persistent low mood and lethargy to an unshakeable feeling that life itself is not worth living.

PTSD

Usually associated with witnessing or experiencing severe trauma. Symptoms include recurring, intrusive memories or nightmares, persistent feelings of guilt, fear or anger, and reckless behaviour.

OCD

People with this condition develop obsessive and compulsive behaviours. Obsessive thoughts or urges cause unease, while a compulsion is a repetitive act that helps relieve these thoughts.

Arthritis

This occurs when the joints become inflamed, causing pain. There are lots of different types of arthritis, but two of the most common types are osteoarthritis followed by rheumatoid arthritis.

Cancer Related
