PRICE TO PAY FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING

As social and physical distancing has become paramount in our efforts to contain the spread of corona virus, loosing social connections comes with psychological costs. These may become more severe as these measures drag on.

Across the world, colleges and offices have become online, restaurants have closed and public places have barred visitors. Quarantine is the extreme form of social distancing and its impact is greater than not eating on many of the affected people.

Many of the affected people experience mental health problems. These include insomnia, exhaustion, substance abuse, anxiety and depression to name a few. These individuals may experience a high-level alcohol abuse later. The economic fall out such as recession and unemployment can result in wide spread mental health challenges.

Some individuals may fare better and there may be an increase in their social connect, since families are locked down. They stay connected through phone calls, text messages or by joining online groups. They may get psychological care by staying connected. But modern technology is a poor substitute for human touch.

Walking Prevents Heart Disease

According to the American Heart Association, Walking is no less effective than running when it comes to the prevention of heart-related disease or stroke. This activity helps avoid heart problems by lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation. #drsaisudarsan #neurosurgeron #topneurologist #neurosurgerynow #neurology #indiandoctors #MS #DNB #MRCS #MCh #DNB #MNAMS #FRCS #pulsehospitalranchi #neurologist #indiabestneurosurgeon #walkingeffects #preventsheartdisease #bloodpressure #bloodcirculation #heartstroke

Alcoholic Polyneuropathy

Alcohol abuse affects systems throughout the body, including the motor and sensory nerves. These nerves communicate with the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), impacting movement and other functions throughout the body such as physical sensations, heart rate, and muscle strength. Alcoholic polyneuropathy is not reversible, but it is treatable. There are several signs and symptoms that can indicate whether someone has developed alcohol-related nerve damage. Seeking professional help is the best way to determine an appropriate treatment plan for both the nerve damage and alcohol abuse. # alcoholism # alcoholaddiction # alcoholawareness # alcoholabuse # alcoholfree # alcoholicpolyneuropathy # drsaisudarsan # brain # brainsurgery # topneurologist # indiandoctors # chronicalcohololism

Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compression, or squeezing, on the posterior tibial nerve that produces symptoms anywhere along the path of the nerve running from the inside of the ankle into the foot. Also it is a condition caused by repeated pressure that results in damage on the posterior tibial nerve. Your tibial nerve branches off of the sciatic nerve and is found near your ankle. # glossopharyngeal # neuralgia # throatpain # brainstem # minimallyinvasivesurgery # drsaisudarsan # neurosurgeron # topneurologist # neurosurgerynow # neurology # indiandoctors # MS # DNB # MRCS # MCh # DNB # MNAMS # FRCS # pulsehospitalranchi # neurologist # indiabestneurosurgeon
