Around the world societies are facing growing aging populations
with the concomitant increase in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Neuropsychiatric disorders are organic brain diseases with
psychiatric symptoms, as in Alzheimer s and Parkinson s diseases,
that cause cognitive impairment, including dementia, amnesic
syndrome, and personality behavioral changes. As a clinical
science, neuropsychiatry aims to explore the complex
interrelationship between behavior and brain function from a
variety of perspectives, including those of psychology, neurology,
and psychiatry. This concise and updated monograph comprises the
latest findings in the field and includes chapters on delusional
symptoms, mood disorders and neurotic symptoms, cognitive
impairment, behavioral and personality changes, and recently,
cerebral alterations revealed in PTSD patients and in endogenous
psychoses through neuroimaging and neuropathology. These findings
will certainly widen the realm of neuropsychiatry going forward and
will prove of great value to specialists as well as to academics
and trainees in neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology,
neuroradiology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry,
and clinical genetics. Ultimately, neuropsychiatry aims to prevent
and reduce the suffering of individuals with the psychiatric
symptoms of cerebral disorders."
