Episode Details

Nearly two in five people across the Americas live with a neurological disorder, with countries like Guyana, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic hit hardest. While death rates have dropped since 1990, more survivors now face long-term disabilities, straining health systems. The study covers 19 conditions—from migraines to dementia—each impacting movement, memory, and communication across all ages. Many of these disorders are preventable through tackling risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and pollution. The urgent call? Prioritize prevention, integrate care into primary health services, and expand support systems to meet the growing needs of aging populations.
