ABSTRACT

This abstract addresses neurobehavioral disorders linked to brain damage, encompassing conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Dementia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These disorders, resulting from traumatic or non-traumatic brain injuries, significantly impact behavior, emotions, and learning processes. The complexities of assessing acquired brain injuries (ABIs) include inconsistent methodologies and inadequate neurodiagnostic data, complicating the understanding of their effects. Risk factors include lifestyle and genetic elements, while prevention focuses on health maintenance and cognitive reserve. For MS, the emphasis is on disease-modifying therapies, exploring B-cell-depleting therapies, and lifestyle influences. ADHD treatment combines pharmacological and behavioral strategies, addressing impulsivity and inattention. ASD management involves behavioral and pharmacological interventions, aiming to improve social behaviors and address irritability. PTSD treatments include pharmacological approaches targeting noradrenergic dysfunction and psychological interventions like trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy. Overall, this review emphasizes the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches in managing neurobehavioral disorders to improve patient outcomes.
