My Broken Brain - When your Body becomes the Enemy | ENDEVR Documentary

This compassionate documentary follows patients experiencing four conditions; Epilepsy, Motor Neurone Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease as they undergo testing, surgery, and treatment in the name of research. Their futures may be written but their present day stories are ones of resilience, love, and family in the face of huge adversity. Stories of resilience, love, and family in the face of adversity. Over 700,000 people in Ireland suffer from some form of neurological condition. Most of these conditions are debilitating, degenerative, or incurable. As this number is set to increase as the population ages, the importance of brain research cannot be underestimated.

As someone who suffers from Kleine-Levin Syndrome, I can say that coming to terms with the idea of your own brain betraying you is one of the most terrifying and yet strengthening things you can go through. I don't have symptoms nearly as bad as most of the folks documented here, but I felt every word they were saying on a deep level.

Please dont blur out the surgical procedures. Thats why we watch these videos. 😢

I would definitely get tested for any genetic disease my parent had, and I would have my tubes tied if I was a carrier.

MS warrior here

I have ms, so can relate to a lot of this. This documentary had me crying, brain diseases are horrendous.

Amazing documentary 🤗 well explained. Was lovely to hear from the patients, their families, and the doctors. Gives a well rounded appreciation of what everyone is going through as well as giving a scientific perspective. The "why not me" got me. Wow. How 3 words can weigh so much. Sending everyone who is suffering so much love, their caregivers love, and all the doctors who work so hard love as well 🤗

Sending prayers to All 🙏❤️

@endevrdocs Please do not blur out the scenes. A warning could be put at the start. This is an educational video and should be open for full information.

praying for all of you to live better life that u deserve

Fascinating documentary. ENDEVRDocs I would love if you'd consider complicated long-term sleep disorders that are genetic, how they affect daily life, possible treatments, etc. I believe the US system just places the sufferer on sleep meds but does not look for the cause or real solutions. It's just looked at as a drug seeking mental issue. 😢

I will catch it later and look forward to it, as my friend is living with Parkinson's. Thank you for the opportunity to know a bit more of her struggle beyond what is obvious.

Exactly, why not me?

What was causing Brian’s seizures? What was the abnormal tissue called?

all this info should be free and not dominated by commercials

Why do they blur the surgery? I HATE THAT!

I'm a neurosurgeon

Was for very little I haven’t end up like Cinthia . It’s absurd that doctors some don’t see the beginning of the symptoms and just end the purposefully administering the wrong medications . Doesn’t classify as doctors they classify as butchers .

Awesome tie.

I seen a documentary about a woman who uses bee stings to control her movements
