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

Spinal conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and gait disturbance. Typical conditions include herniated disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Most spinal conditions are not life-threatening, so the principle is to start with conservative treatment such as drug therapy and physical therapy, and whether and when surgery is needed depends on each patient's condition. Please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis and direction of treatment.2026-06-26

Stress, poor posture, and lack of sleep are the main causes. If headaches persist or worsen, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Wrist Fracture
#wrist fracture, #fall, #fracture, #winter fracture, #icy road, #osteoporosis, #wrist, #cast
A wrist fracture occurs when a person puts a hand out to break a fall and the impact is transmitted to the wrist. It commonly occurs after falls on icy roads in winter, and older adults and women with osteoporosis-weakened bones can fracture even with minor impact. If left untreated, it can lead to wrist deformity, limited joint motion, and arthritis. If you have pain and swelling in the wrist after a fall, please consult an orthopedic specialist.2026-06-26
