Is Restless Leg Syndrome a brain health disease?  

In honor of Brain Health Awareness Month, Doctorpedia is posting additional videos on brain health and neurological conditions to our RU-vid channel. Today's video, presented by Dr. Smita Patel, Integrative Neurologist, and Sleep Medicine Physician, discusses Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and its connection to the brain.
Restless Leg Syndrome, with potential genetic predispositions or environmental triggers, can often be a mystery. It may be linked to low iron levels in the brain and disruptions in dopamine pathways, similar to Parkinson's disease. Certain substances like caffeine or alcohol, as well as some medications, can trigger or worsen symptoms.
