Answer
A
insomnia
B
myasthenia gravis
C
Alzheimer’s disease
D
neuralgia
E
multiple sclerosis
F
Parkinson’s disease

Explanation

Myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis are autoimmune disorders: the immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the nervous system. Immunosuppressant drugs can be used to reduce this harmful immune response. Insomnia, neuralgia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease are not generally classified as autoimmune disorders treated this way.
