Neuropsychiatry (Peiropsychiatry)

Neuropsychiatry (or psychiatric neurology) is a relatively new field of medicine that studies the mental manifestations of diseases resulting from disturbances in the nervous structure and function of the nervous system. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the connection between the morphological changes occurring in the human brain and the impact they have on his mind.

The main objectives of neuropsychiatry are the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders associated with disorders of the nervous system. These may include diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury and others.

One of the key areas of neuropsychiatry is the study of mental disorders associated with dysfunction of certain areas of the brain. For example, depression may be associated with dysfunction of the hippocampus, and schizophrenia may be associated with dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex.

A variety of techniques are used to diagnose neuropsychiatric disorders, including neuropsychological tests, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other brain imaging techniques.

Treatment for mental disorders associated with nervous system disorders may include medications, psychotherapy, and other methods. In addition, surgery may be required in some cases, such as when treating epilepsy or Parkinson's disease.

Overall, neuropsychiatry is an important field of medicine that helps understand the relationship between the nervous system and mental disorders. Thanks to advances in modern brain imaging technologies and medications, it is becoming increasingly possible to successfully treat many neuropsychiatric disorders and improve patients' quality of life.

Neuropsychiatric disorders - neurotic, somatoform mental disorders, psychosomatic syndromes, as well as exogenous-organic mental disorders

The fundamental place of neurotic disorders in general psychopathology is explained by their closely interrelated role, both in the manifestation and in the chronicization of pathological mental states. It is precisely the disturbances in the sphere of neurotic disorders that indicate the depletion of the individual’s adaptive capabilities that precede the appearance of acute psychopathological conditions. These disorders are directly related to the initial stages of endogenous psychoses and are represented by their “antagonists.”

It is neuroticism that is not organically changed within the framework of pathology,
