Behavioral Abnormality

Understanding brain related symptoms and features

Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.

The brain is the central organ of the nervous system, a system which includes not only the brain but also the sensory organs of the body, the spinal cords and the nerves that connect them all. The nervous system is how the different parts of the body communicate with each other and controls their responses to both internal and external stimuli.

Generally, symptoms affecting the brain can not be seen with the naked eye. Although diagnosing a brain related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.

Symptoms relating to the brain may affect other parts of the body and development, including intellectual ability as well as the ability to move, speak and other crucial bodily functions.

What is a Behavioral Abnormality?

A behavioral abnormality is the result of issues with mental functioning that in turn affect an individual’s cognitive awareness, perception and behavior.

This in turn means behavior that is considered abnormal compared to the norm. It usually involves more than one problematic behavior, that lasts for more than six months, and can be seen across home, school and social settings.

Examples of specific behavioral disorders include: oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

What should I do next?

In some instances a behavioral abnormality may be one of the features of a rare disease or genetic syndrome. In this case fast, targeted genetic analysis can give you a more accurate diagnosis.
