Neuropsychiatry at Lords Healthcare
At Lords Healthcare, we understand the complex interplay between the brain and behavior. Our dedicated team of neuropsychiatrists bridges the gap between neurology and psychiatry, offering specialized care for individuals with mental health conditions that may have underlying neurological causes.
What is Neuropsychiatry?
Neuropsychiatry is a specialized field that combines expertise in both neurology (the nervous system) and psychiatry (mental health). Neuropsychiatrists are medical doctors who receive additional training in both areas, allowing them to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions where the mind and brain intersect.
Conditions We Address
Our neuropsychiatrists are equipped to address a variety of conditions, including:
- Dementia: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease with dementia, and other conditions affecting memory, thinking, and behavior.
- Mood disorders: Depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder can sometimes have a neurological basis.
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): While not strictly a neurological condition, ADHD can benefit from a neuropsychiatric approach considering potential underlying causes.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Neuropsychiatrists can explore the possibility of neurological factors contributing to OCD symptoms.
- Schizophrenia: This complex mental illness can be evaluated from a neuropsychiatric perspective, considering both biological and psychological factors.
- Learning disorders: Dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia can sometimes have neurological underpinnings.
- Autoimmune Encephalitis: A rare condition where the immune system attacks the brain, causing a variety of neurological and psychiatric symptoms.
- Head injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can lead to cognitive and emotional changes, which a neuropsychiatrist can assess and manage.
- Epilepsy: Some people with epilepsy experience psychological symptoms alongside seizures. Neuropsychiatrists can manage both aspects of the condition.
