Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice AB - Our textbook has evaluated advances in basic and clinical neuroscience and presented an integrated view of neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology, with the ultimate goal of improving the care and reducing the suffering of those affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Knowledge, practices, disciplines, and nosology involving the fields related to clinical neuroscience have undergone many iterations and classifications over the years. One important iteration has been the division of neurology and psychiatry into two separate disciplines that pay attention to different phenomena, pathogenic mechanisms, and treatment methods.1,2Table 39-1 provides an illustration of these differences, using a patient with multiple sclerosis and depression as an example. In other iterations of clinical neuroscience, the borders between fields are less distinct and there has been considerable overlap between psychiatry and neurology. For decades, researchers and clinicians have discussed intersection and commonalities between these fields. For centuries, philosophers have discussed the relationship between brain and mind, feelings and intellect, subjective experience and behavior.3–5 The experience of patients is in agreement with an integrated view of neurology and psychiatry: Individuals with brain illness often suffer from combinations of motor, sensorial, autonomic, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive symptoms. It is not their priority to know which discipline “owns” their illness or their symptoms, other than to find appropriate care.
