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.
