A deadly virus spread to people from the saliva of infected animals.

causes:
By animal or insect bites or stings.

symptoms:
Symptoms include fever, headache, excess salivation, muscle spasms, paralysis, and mental confusion.

age it appears:
can appear at any age

treatment:
Seek immediate medical attention after a bite or suspected bite. There is no specific treatment for rabies. Once symptoms appear, it's nearly always fatal. A vaccine can prevent infection.

prognosis:
will be almost fatal unless treated

A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors.

causes:
Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Parkinson's often starts with a tremor in one hand.

symptoms:
symptoms are slow movement, stiffness, and loss of balance.

age it appears:
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder that affects one in 100 people over age 60. While the average age at onset is 60, people have been diagnosed as young as 18.

treatment:
Medications can help control the symptoms of Parkinson's.

prognosis: (picture below)

A developmental disorder affecting ability to effectively socialize and communicate.

causes:
A family history of Asperger's. Being born to older parents. Having a mental health disorder, such as depression or anxiety. Having another health condition.

symptoms:
aggression, compulsive behavior, fidgeting, impulsivity, repetitive movements, social isolation, or persistent repetition of words or actions

age it appears:
The behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often appear early in development. Many children show symptoms of autism by 12 months to 18 months of age or earlier.

treatment:
Communication training and behavioral therapy can help people with the syndrome learn to socialize more successfully.

prognosis:
age at intervention has a direct impact on outcome--typically, the earlier a child is treated, the better the prognosis will be. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the percentage of children who can attend school in a typical classroom and go on to live semi-independently in community settings. However, the majority of autistic persons remain impaired to some degree in their ability to communicate and socialize.

A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.

causes:
Scientists believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over time.

symptoms:
Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms.

age it appear:
Of all the people who have Alzheimer's disease, about 5 percent develop symptoms before age 65. Most people with early-onset Alzheimer's develop symptoms of the disease in their 40s and 50s.

treatment:
No cure exists, but medications and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms.

prognosis:
On average, people with Alzheimer's disease live between three and 11 years after diagnosis, but some survive 20 years or more.

A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs.

causes:
The exact cause of bipolar disorder isn’t known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain structure and chemistry may play a role.

symptoms:
Manic episodes may include symptoms such as high energy, reduced need for sleep, and loss of touch with reality. Depressive episodes may include symptoms such as low energy, low motivation, and loss of interest in daily activities. Mood episodes last days to months at a time and may also be associated with suicidal thoughts.

age it appears:
The average age of onset is 17.7 years old

treatment:
Treatment is usually lifelong and often involves a combination of medications and psychotherapy

prognosis:
Likelihood of recurrence is almost certain, as the vast majority of patients have more than 1 lifetime episode. Although considerable variability exists regarding relapses across individuals with bipolar disorder, it is generally believed and supported by the evidence that, over time, episodes become more frequent and that the euthymic intervals become shorter in between episodes. Subsyndromal symptoms may be chronic for some patients with bipolar disorder.
