Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• “The main area of scientific and clinical interests is clinical neurophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of headaches, dizziness, and various pain syndromes, modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neurological diseases. I am interested in modern approaches to disease prevention, psycho-emotional health, and the impact of lifestyle on neurological conditions. I pay special attention to the connection between neurological disorders and anxiety-depressive states, sleep disturbances, and chronic stress. I am also interested in a multidisciplinary approach in medicine, particularly collaboration with physicians of other specialties to achieve the best treatment outcomes for patients.”

Doctor's advice:

• “Take care of your sleep — full rest is the foundation of nervous system health. Try to avoid chronic stress, maintain physical activity and balanced nutrition. If you experience regular headaches, dizziness, or sleep disturbances, do not delay visiting a neurologist — timely diagnosis helps prevent complications.”
