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.
