Epilepsy
#epilepsy, #ganjil (former Korean name), #convulsion, #seizure, #antiepileptic drugs, #neurology, #convulsive seizure
Epilepsy is a condition in which seizures occur repeatedly because of abnormal electrical signals in the brain. In Korean it used to be called 'ganjil,' but the name was changed to 'noejeonjeung' in 2012. Epilepsy is not a single disease but a group of conditions that arise from various causes. If you suspect symptoms, please be sure to consult a neurology specialist.2026-06-26

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a major mental illness in which the ability to distinguish reality from one's own thoughts and perceptions is impaired. In Korean, the disorder was previously called jeongsinbunyeolbyeong (literally, "split-mind disease") but was renamed johyeonbyeong in 2011; the new term means "tuning the strings," reflecting the idea that mental confusion arises when the brain's neural signaling is not properly tuned. With appropriate treatment and management, people with schizophrenia can maintain daily functioning.2026-06-26

Stroke
#stroke, #dementia, #vascular dementia, #high blood pressure, #snoring, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body
Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. A blocked blood vessel is called a cerebral infarction, and a ruptured one is called a cerebral hemorrhage. If symptoms appear, going to the emergency room immediately is the most important way to reduce aftereffects. Stroke is also closely related to dementia. The main symptom of stroke is the loss of a specific bodily function, such as paralysis of the arms or legs. The most important factor in treatment is the golden time (the critical time window for treatment), so please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis. If abnormal symptoms appear, call 119 (Korea's emergency number) or go to the emergency room immediately.2026-06-26
