Neurodegenerative diseases refer to a category of disorders marked by the gradual decline in the structure and function of the nervous system. Common conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), lead to the deterioration of cognitive, motor, and functional abilities. These diseases often result in debilitating symptoms, affecting memory, movement, and speech, with no cure currently available. Early diagnosis and management strategies focus on slowing disease progression and improving quality of life through medications, therapies, and support systems. Ongoing research aims to uncover the underlying causes and develop potential treatments for these conditions.
