As medical acuity increases and hospital stays shorten, psychiatric consultants must become adept at quickly recognizing neurological disorders comorbid with or manifesting as psychiatric and behavioral symptoms. Neuropsychiatric education has become essential for psychiatric competency. Psychiatric Neurology: A Clinical Approach expands the educational resources available to psychiatric clinicians: • Practical and up-to-date guidance on the evaluation and diagnosis of neurological disorders and their neuropsychiatric presentations • How to perform a thorough neuropsychiatric examination, enhanced by links to illustrative videos • Tips for using the neurodiagnostic laboratory • Quick access differential diagnostic tables for issues commonly encountered in practice, including visual hallucinations, catatonia, aggression, new-onset psychosis, affective lability, apathy, and pain syndromes. Contributions from more than 30 experts summarize neurological diagnoses and their neuropsychiatric presentations. The chapters, each structured around a clinical case example, focus on neurological disorders such as dementia, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, brain tumors, sleep disorders, and neurovascular syndromes. Every chapter concludes with concise summary points as well as review questions and answers to reinforce the reader's knowledge. Valuable for both residents and experienced practitioners, Psychiatric Neurology is a rich source of information for psychiatric professionals navigating the demands and opportunities of clinical care.
