THEME: "Emerging Challenges and Advances in Neurology and Neuropsychiatry"
Neuropsychiatry is the interphase between
psychiatry and neurology. Neuropsychiatry is a specialized clinical, academic
and scientific discipline with its field located in the borderland territory
between neurology and psychiatry. Neuropsychiatric disorder is a blanket medical term
that encompasses a broad range of medical conditions that involve both
neurology and psychiatry. Common neuropsychiatric disorders include seizures,
attention deficits, cognitive deficits, palsies, uncontrolled anger, migraine
headaches, addictions, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety and others.
Medications,
psychological and/or psychiatric therapy are common treatments for
neuropsychiatric disorders. Specific treatments will vary based on the precise
cause, clinical presentation and severity.
