What causes dizziness and vertigo? Causes of dizziness, vertigo, and disequilibrium can be hard to identify, but can indicate a problem in your vestibular (inner ear) system. They can result from a peripheral vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of the balance organs of the inner ear) or central vestibular disorder (a dysfunction of one or more parts of the central nervous system that help process balance and spatial information). Although these three symptoms can be linked by a common cause, they have different meanings, and describing them accurately can mean the difference between a successful diagnosis and one that is missed.

Research Recap! Did you know that the FDA recently granted breakthrough status for an LSD-based medication for the the treatment of anxiety disorders? This opens many doors for future research...but what does past research say? A study conducted in Switzerland in 2017-2021 dove into the idea of treating Anxiety with LSD with a special focus on life-threatening illness induced anxiety. Full article below along with a recap.

Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) can bring up several uncomfortable questions. What does this mean for me and my family? How long can I keep working and enjoying my hobbies? Will other people view me differently? These fears and uncertainties can be a chronic source of anxiety for people with PD, yet clinicians are rarely trained to recognize them. If fears or worries are mentioned in the clinical visit, they may be misinterpreted or mislabeled, or sometimes ignored completely. From the Journal of Parkinson's Disease, using a database of responses by people with PD reporting up to five “most bothersome problems,” we identified 225 fear-based verbatims, which were organized using the framework method into 26 categories. Commonly-reported fears included uncertainty of progression (n = 60, 26.7%), fear of future cognitive impairment (n = 24, 10.7%) and fear of becoming a burden on others (n = 23, 10.2%). Fears in PD are wide-ranging and can constitute the most bothersome aspect of the condition. These data can be used to design interventions to lessen the psychosocial burden of PD. https://lnkd.in/dZdyVviV

Are you struggling to get a concrete diagnosis for your disorder? Many people who suffer from dizziness, imbalance, or vertigo have trouble finding out why. While the majority of patients experiencing vertigo do have a vestibular disorder, dizziness can also be caused by problems that have nothing to do with the vestibular system. The key to getting an accurate diagnosis is to find the right expertise. Most general practitioners may not be able to assist. You need to find a specialist who has experience treating vestibular disorders. Find more guidance: https://lnkd.in/gdFS5tmb [Image Text: Struggling To Get A Diagnosis?]

Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States alone. While some people respond to current therapies, further research is needed for those who still need a treatment that provides them with sustained and substantial disease control.    At Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, we are dedicated to understanding and addressing the underlying causes of immune-mediated diseases, including autoantibody-driven neurological diseases like gMG.    Congratulations to the team presenting our latest research at the 2024 #AANEMinSavannah, where we are sharing 25 abstracts. Learn more about how these findings aim to transform the treatment landscape for people living with gMG: https://bit.ly/40aCx57
