Summary
Neurological and neurosurgical disorders represent a particularly salient area for interventions using practices of wellness medicine. Due to the complex physiology and functions of the nervous system, disease processes can have a wide range of clinical presentations, each with unique hardships. Because the nervous system itself provides individuals with cognition, sense of self, and identity, the loss of normal neurological function in day-to-day activities can elicit substantial emotional distress. Neurological disorders are also somewhat unique in that a large number of conditions lack curative treatments and require lifelong symptom management and supportive care [1]. Medical and surgical interventions for such diseases often come with their own set of complications, side effects, and impacts on quality of life [2]. It is therefore important for care providers to understand the ways in which patients can improve their health by seeking personalized cognitive, behavioral, physical, and spiritual interventions alongside their standard course of treatment.
