Agnosia
Agnosia is brain damage in which only a single part of the brain is
affected. This occurs from a severe traumatic injury to the head, from
a stroke, from old age, or some other neurological condition. The
affect of this disorder causes the inability of the person to
comprehend objects. The objects can be seen or felt but cannot be
associated with their function. There are many different forms of
agnosia which can occur when the memory of a form is lost due to injury
to the part of the brain storing that memory.
There is no method of treatment for this disorder, but it may
recover suddenly on its own, but in most other instances; the only help
is from a specialist in therapy for brain disorders.
Regardless of the treatment, a healthy lifestyle of proper nutrition
and physiotherapy will not only benefit agnosia, but almost any health
problem. For more information on a healthy lifestyle, please view
