What is the difference between neurosurgery and neurology?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me the difference between neurosurgery and neurology?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of neurology and neurosurgery, there isn't a strict distinction at present because technology is expanding rapidly, and the types of diseases they treat are becoming more diverse, as well as the methods used. Previously, conditions like stroke were typically treated by neurology, but now surgical methods can also be used to treat stroke. As a result, there is increasing overlap between the two fields.
