Encephalitis and encephalopathy are brain conditions that can result in permanent damage. Encephalitis refers to brain inflammation, while encephalopathy is a broad term for any brain disease or disorder. Several causes can lead to these conditions, including infections, trauma, metabolic problems, drugs, and lack of oxygen to the brain.
Typical Symptoms of Encephalitis / Encephalopathy
- Speech that does not make sense, or behavior that is strange
- Smile is not symmetrical
- Weakness on one side of the body
- Seizure
- Unable to execute simple commands such as 'squeeze my hand and then let it go'
- Personality change
- Fever
- Difficulty pronouncing words
Diagnostic Questions for Encephalitis / Encephalopathy
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do others think you speak incoherently or act irrationally?
- Is it hard to raise one corner of your mouth when you smile?
- Are you experiencing an inability to move one side of your body?
- Have you had a seizure?
- Are you unable to execute simple commands such as 'squeeze my hand and then let it go'?
Treatment of Encephalitis / Encephalopathy
Treatment depends on the cause of the brain condition. Medications to reduce inflammation, eliminate infection, and slow brain damage progression may be used, and in some cases, surgery may be required. Anti-seizure medication is prescribed for seizures. Supportive treatment with fluids injected into the vein is needed to keep the patient stable.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
