Neuropsychiatrist

Neuropsychiatrist

A medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders that are linked to diseases or injuries of the brain and nervous system. Combining the fields of neurology and psychiatry, neuropsychiatrists address conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, brain injuries, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, mood disorders and behavioral changes caused by neurological issues. They use a mix of medical evaluation, psychiatric assessment and neuroimaging techniques to understand how brain function affects behavior and emotions. Their goal is to provide comprehensive treatment that supports both mental well-being and neurological health.


1. What conditions does a neuropsychiatrist treat?

They treat conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s disease with mood issues, brain injuries, epilepsy with behavioral changes, ADHD and other brain-related psychiatric problems.

While psychiatrists focus on mental health and neurologists on brain and nerve disorders, neuropsychiatrists combine both fields to treat mental symptoms caused by the brain.

You should see a neuropsychiatrist if you have mood, behavior or thinking problems linked to a brain injury, stroke, seizure disorder or neurodegenerative disease.
