AB Psychiatric  disorders  are  common  in  neurologic  disorders,  and  often  occur  as  a  consequence  of  neurologic  disorders.  Prompt  diagnosis  and  treatment  can  improve  outcomes,  so  neurologists  should  be  familiar  with  typical  manifestations  and  treatments.  Depression,  apathy,  anxiety  disorders,  PTSD,  psychosis,  and  conversion  disorder  are  common  psychiatric  conditions  encountered  by  neurologists.  All  patients  should  be  screened  for  psychiatric  disorders.  Neurologists  should  always  evaluate  for  suicidality  and  risk  of  violence  to  others  in  patients  with  psychiatric  symptoms.  A  multimodal  biopsychosocial  treatment  approach—involving  medications,  psychotherapy,  and  psychoeducation—is  often  the  most  helpful  strategy.
