TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Neuropsychiatric Assessment A1 - Benjamin, Sheldon A2 - Silbersweig, David A. A2 - Safar, Laura T. A2 - Daffner, Kirk R. PY - 2021 T2 - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice AB - Neuropsychiatric assessment proceeds from history to examination to formulation in a manner similar to that used in other fields of medicine but adapted to demonstrate brain-behavior relationships. Findings from the patient history, physical, mental status examination, and available laboratory, neuroimaging, neuropsychological evaluation, and other ancillary data are synthesized to create the neuropsychiatric formulation. This chapter offers an approach to neuropsychiatric assessment that includes both the details and the thought process of the neuropsychiatrist as the examination is conducted. For each major section discussed (history gathering, general physical examination, neurological examination, mental status examination, cognitive examination), please review the corresponding textbox that invites the clinician to maintain an active thinking process, analyzing and synthesizing each section’s information with the aim of reaching an accurate and comprehensive assessment.
