Human diseases and disorders[edit]

Human diseases are conditions that affect the normal functioning of the body and cause symptoms that can range from mild to severe. There are many different types of diseases that can affect humans, and they can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.

Some of the most common human diseases include:

Heart disease: Heart disease is a term used to describe a range of conditions that affect the heart, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. It is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Depression: Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities. It is a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Hypertension: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is consistently too high. It can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.

It is important to be aware of the risks for different diseases and to take steps to prevent them when possible. This may involve getting regular check-ups and screenings, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding risky behaviors, and following recommended preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated. If you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to a disease, it is important to see a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment.
