Neuropsychiatry is an integrative medical specialty that combines elements of psychiatry, neurology, and neuropsychology, with a focus on the relationship between brain and behavior. Neuropsychiatrists view the brain as the organ from which all behavior emerges, and their work centers on evaluation and treatment of emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and perceptual difficulties in the context of neurologic illness. Neuropsychiatric conditions include cognitive disturbances and psychiatric symptoms. Not all patients referred to a neuropsychiatrist arrive with a diagnosis already in hand; in those cases, a neuropsychiatric evaluation can help determine the underlying cause of worrisome symptoms. That evaluation can involve neurological exams, study of motor functions, coordination, reflexes, cranial nerves, and posture, and interviews to determine cognitive status. Symptoms that can lead a patient to seek a neuropsychiatric evaluation include interpersonal difficulties such as unpredictable moods and behaviors. The key component of a neuropsychiatric disorder is that symptoms tend to impact brain function, emotion, and mood, and causes can range from genetic predisposition to traumatic brain injuries, infections, medication side effects, or environmental factors. Treatment options include medication regimens, psychological counseling, and psychiatric therapy, with specific plans determined by the cause, clinical presentation, and severity of the disorder. Neuropsychiatrists aim to help patients and their families better understand and deal with the psychological effects of their disorders.
