gluten and casein-free diet, animal therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, medi-

cation, meditation, neurofeedback, art therapy, and vitamin and mineral sup-

port [196] There are no medications yet developed to reduce or eliminate the

core symptoms of ASD. However, there are psychotropic medications used

for conditions such as inattention, impulsivity/hyperactivity, sleep problems,

anxiety, agitation, aggression, and repetitive and self-harming behaviors seen

in individuals with ASD [197].

Concluding Remarks

Since the brain is the center of the body, the nervous system is in charge

of all bodily functions, and even the smallest neural error can result in a

variety of diseases at different intensities. This chapter explains the structure

of the brain, various brain disorders and cancer kinds, how these diseases

are diagnosed, and available treatment options. It’s crucial to give the best

possible care, starting with an early diagnosis and focusing on psychological

well-being before moving on to medical interventions.
