Neuropsychiatry refers to the scientific study of
neurological impairment and its relation to
behavioral problems and mental illness. While
certain medical professionals may refer to
themselves as neurologists or neurosurgeons,
the neuorpsychiatrist is a person who is trained
in both neurology and psychiatry. A
neuropsychiatrist is well versed in both
understanding brain function and human
behavior. The purpose and objective of
neuropsychiatry is to improve our awareness of
the connections between neuroscience and
human behavior.

The goal of the neuropsychiatrist is to use
this growing knowledge in order to better the
lives of patients and individuals who live with
previously untreated neurological afflictions.
Neuropsychiatry provides a medical or
physical explanation for previously
unexplained behavior and provides an
opportunity for patients to understand that
they are recovering from a medical illness.
