Neurological and Psychiatric Conditions: Hand in Hand in the Emergency Room – Neurologist’s Perspective
Journal Title: Psilogos - Year 2011, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Both neurologists and psychiatrists work under complex circumstances in the emergency department; these conditions may hinder diagnostic management of patients, especially when neurological and psychiatric disorders coexist. These two specialties frequently complement each other in their clinical approaches. In this paper, we will first address the psychiatric manifestations of neurological disorders, then the functional symptoms which mimic neurological diseases. This latter group of symptoms constitutes the greatest challenge for the neurologist in the emergency room.
