Essentials of Clinical Neurology for the Psychiatrist, 1st Edition

Essentials of Clinical Neurology for the Psychiatrist, 1st Edition by Ambar Chakravarty is a comprehensive reference designed to bridge the important clinical relationship between neurology and psychiatry.

Neurological and systemic illnesses may initially present with emotional, behavioural, cognitive or other psychiatric symptoms. Failure to recognise these neurological red flags can delay the correct diagnosis and treatment. This book helps psychiatrists identify the neurological basis of such presentations and develop a systematic approach to clinical evaluation.

Presented through 34 chapters and 18 commentaries, the book discusses the neuropsychiatric manifestations of commonly encountered neurological disorders. It highlights relevant diagnostic methods, clinical examination, therapeutic considerations and the neurological complications of medications used in psychiatric practice.

Important neurological conditions—including headache, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders and dementia—are explained specifically for trainee and practising psychiatrists. The book also provides detailed discussion of functional neurological disorders and the historical development of neuropsychiatry.
