Neuropsychiatry

 
 

What is Neuropsychiatry?

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.

 

What is Neuropsychiatry for?

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.

 

What does Neuropsychiatry involve?

  • Specialist assessment combining psychiatric and neurological perspectives

  • In-depth history including cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms

  • Review of neurological investigations (e.g. MRI, EEG, neuropsychology reports)

  • Diagnosis and explanation of symptoms within a brain-mind framework

  • Treatment plans that may include medication, therapy, or rehab pathways

  • Collaboration with neurologists, psychologists, and allied health teams

  • Support for families and carers where relevant

  • Management of behavioural changes linked to brain conditions

  • Monitoring of treatment impact on cognition and functioning

  • Guidance on benefits, employment, or driving where needed

  • Trauma-informed, patient-centred approach

  • Online and in-person consultations available

  • Education on condition and prognosis

  • Medication review for neuropsychiatric symptoms

  • Risk assessment and safety planning if needed
