Neuropsychiatry is the branch of medicine dealing with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. It preceded the current disciplines of psychiatry and neurology, in as much as psychiatrists and neurologists had a common training (Yudofsky and Hales, 2002). However, neurology and psychiatry subsequently split apart and are typically practised separately. Nevertheless, neuropsychiatry has become a growing subspecialty of psychiatry and it is also closely related to the field of Behavioral Neurology, which is a subspecialty of Neurology that addresses clinical problems of cognition and/or behavior caused by brain injury or brain disease. 'Behavioral Neurology / Neuropsychiatry' fellowships are jointly accredited through the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS), in a manner similar to how the specialties of psychiatry and neurology in the United States have a joint board for accreditation, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Neuropsychiatry is that branch of medicine that deals with the study of mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do I go about getting a degree as a CPC medical coder with a specialty in Neuropsychiatry? Q. I have a B.A. in English. I'm looking for a career in the coding profession. Asked by Kat - Thu Apr 16 13:23:06 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The coding field is supposed to be very difficult to get a job in as it is (including medical billing and med assistant) despite what those private $$ schools say, let alone, with such a specific subspeciality :) A person usually needs 2-3 years exp doing coding tasks and certification(s) in the field and preferably have attended an accredited program to possibly get employment. (With medical billing, a lot of companies are outsourcing to Asia/India as that was the very reason that my cousin got laid off from her billing job of five years, just fyi.) If still interested in coding, please consider the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college as long as it's accredited within the industry.

Cognitive neuropsychiatry tries to show that delusional beliefs are attempts to explain pathologial experiences. I'm not saying the religious figures were delusional, but if they hypothetically were, what mental disorders would they likely have suffered from? Eg. Buddha - gratulant feelings of transcendence & beautitude = Psychomotor epilepsy. St. Paul & the writer of Revelations - sees stars and Jesus appearing before him = visual migrane. Possessed by demons - twitching and grimacing = Huntington's disease. Moses - hearing voices in his head = schitzophrenia Mohammed - hearing voices, physical symptoms when receiving revelations = epilepsy Asked by Smiling - Wed Oct 15 01:30:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. well, your gues is as good as mine.

Q. Is it? I plan to do a psychiatric residency, but I've heard that it may not be around for long. If it is, should I consider neuropsychiatry or just neurology? Is neuropsychiatry a dying field since it also has "psychiatry" in its name? Asked by _ - Sun Jun 15 17:48:20 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Absolutely not! There is an incredible shortage of board certified psychiatrists in the US, particularly for those certified in child psychiatry. While our knowledge of behavioral health is shifting largely to neurological functioning -- especially with the difficulties of tremendous numbers of veterans with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) -- the treatment is still in the hands of psychiatrists, not neurologist. The latter are primarily used for functional and physiological consults.
