Neuropsychiatry is a specialist branch of psychiatry focused on the link between brain function and mental health. It helps people whose psychiatric symptoms are connected to neurological conditions, brain injuries, or cognitive changes.
Neuropsychiatry is designed for individuals who experience changes in mood, behaviour, cognition, or personality alongside neurological or medical conditions. It can help people with:
Traumatic brain injuries
Epilepsy
Parkinson’s disease
Functional neurological disorder (FND)
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Post-stroke changes
Early-onset or complex dementia
Neurodevelopmental conditions like autism or ADHD with overlapping mental health symptoms
It’s particularly useful for individuals with complex presentations that haven’t responded to standard psychiatric or neurological approaches alone. Neuropsychiatry is also valuable for people who’ve struggled to get a clear diagnosis or whose mental health is intertwined with changes in memory, movement, or sensory experiences.
