Brain Awareness Week is a global campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the brain. It’s a crucial time to highlight the importance of brain research and its impact on various neurological disorders. Understanding NPSLE perfectly aligns with the goals of Brain Awareness Week. By raising awareness, we can encourage further research into NPSLE, improve diagnosis rates, and ultimately discover better treatment options for those living with this complex condition.
Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) or central nervous system (CNS) lupus, is a serious manifestation of lupus that affects the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, or nerves.) This means it can impact how your brain functions. Symptoms of NPSLE can be subtle or severe and may come and go. Some of the most common symptoms include headaches, difficulty thinking or concentrating, memory problems, confusion, memory loss, mood swings, depression, psychosis, anxiety, stroke and even seizures. #lupusincolor #brainawarenessweek
