Frequently Asked Questions

A neuropsychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating mental disorders, behavioral changes, and emotional disturbances stemming from brain injury or neurological diseases. They bridge neurology and psychiatry and manage complex cases like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorder, and traumatic brain injuries. Not every psychiatrist can claim to be a neuropsychiatrist, as there is a specific fellowship program to be completed to become a neuropsychiatrist. There are very few universities offering neuropsychiatry fellowships in the world.

Ideally, a psychiatrist should treat behavioral issues and sleep issues, but may seek a neurology opinion if needed for better care.
