Evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, syndromes, or symptoms can be complex, nuanced, and sometimes intimidating. Clinical Manual of Neuropsychiatry offers clinicians the comprehensive, expert guidance that they require to deliver cutting-edge, effective, and compassionate patient care. New residents and veteran clinicians alike will benefit from the book's commonsense, straightforward organization and meticulously researched coverage of neuropsychiatric disorders ranging from traumatic brain injury to dementias, as well as less commonly available information on topics such as the effect of HIV-1 infection on the central nervous system. The manual is designed to orient, efficiently, the reader to each condition, including epidemiology, presenting symptoms, and contributing factors, and then cover the components of the neuropsychological evaluation, indications for clinical and functional neuroimaging, and subsequent treatment options. Psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, geriatric physicians- indeed, any mental health clinician-will find this volume of enormous value in recognizing and appropriately treating the growing number of patients with significant neuropsychiatric conditions or symptoms. Practical, comprehensive, and exhaustively researched, Clinical Manual of Neuropsychiatry is an indispensible resource for professionals.
