There are three different specialities that complement each other. They all treat pathologies related to the brain, but while the Neurology deals with "physiological" and "physical" factors of pathology, the Psychiatry deals with "psychic" illnesses, which involve emotional problems and behaviour. Neuropsychiatry, on the other hand, is the area that studies the overlaps between the two specialities. It is a mixture of the previous specialities. This article delves deeper into this issue.
As well as following NeuroPsyque on our digital platforms, around 2,000 years ago it was said: "Mens sana in corpore sano" - Healthy body in healthy mind. Regular physical exercise, a healthy diet and regular, restorative sleep are the foundations of a healthy mind and body. Exercising the brain by exposing it to difficulty, either by delving deeper into an activity or by trying out new ones, is also central to the brain's well-being. Eliminating unproductive stress is also a necessity. Preventing cardiovascular disease and maintaining healthy blood vessels are also key factors in maintaining a healthy brain.
The brain controls the body. When it is under great stress, with its emotions unregulated, it begins to send and misinterpret the messages and stimuli it receives from the outside, often exacerbating and aggravating certain stimuli and signals, or ignoring others. This leads to this emotional dysregulation translating into physical symptoms.
These physical symptoms are treated by treating the underlying mental pathology, and in certain cases with the aid of movement, such as the Physiotherapy.

The three specialities complement each other. They all treat pathologies related to the brain, but while Neurology deals with the "physiological" and "physical" factors of the pathology, Psychiatry deals with "psychic" illnesses, emotional problems and their behaviour. Using a computer metaphor: the brain is the processor, the mouse and keyboards are the peripheral nerves, i.e. the physical part is the hardware. Psychiatry deals with the programmes, the software. Neuropsychiatry is the area that studies the overlaps between the two specialities. See this article for more information.
Psychosomatic illnesses are the manifestation of emotional and psychological stress as physical symptoms. They are usually pains that don't go away, but can go as far as causing blindness or even preventing people from moving their limbs. The symptoms disappear when the underlying cause, the stressful situation, is treated.
The brain is what controls our body. When our brains are under a lot of stress, with unregulated emotions, they start to send and misinterpret the messages and stimuli they receive from the outside, often exacerbating certain stimuli or ignoring others. This leads to this emotional dysregulation translating into physical symptoms.
These physical symptoms can only be treated by treating the underlying psychiatric pathology.
As the Roman poet Juvenal said in the first century: "Mens sana in corpore sano", a healthy body in a healthy mind. With regular exercise, a healthy diet and regular, restorative sleep, you can maintain a healthy brain. You can do all the sudokus and maths exercises you like, but if you don't lead a healthy lifestyle, your brain will suffer. Preventing cardiovascular disease and keeping blood vessels healthy are among the main factors in maintaining a healthy brain.
It is categorised and proven by science that both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have a strong genetic component. However, you shouldn't always assume that a person with a certain genetic mutation will certainly develop the disease during their lifetime. There are epigenetic and extragenetic factors that prevent and delay the onset of these diseases. Physiotherapy, a healthy diet and constant learning throughout life are all factors that protect against and slow down the progression of the disease. But these diseases are neurodegenerative and there is no cure, so symptomatic therapy is used at the moment.
