How to know if i have a degenerative brain disease or something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurologist: It is unusual for someone that is 36 to have degenerative brain disease. However, in general, neurologist are good at evaluating and making the diagnosis. They can do this by history-ie. Are there indications of cognitive dysfunction? They can also do this by using detailed MRI scans of the brain to look for areas of abnormality or degeneration.
