Psychiatry is a specialty of medical science that is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of mental disorders. Some of the subspecialties within this area of medicine are neuropsychiatry, addiction psychiatry, sleep medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry and social psychiatry. Neuropsychiatry studies psychiatry from a neurological perspective, in order to attribute and understand the behavior and its interaction with social psychology and neurobiology factors. It considers mind to be a part of the brain, while in neurological and behavioral specialties they are considered distinct entities. It is especially important for the treatment of medical conditions which are classified as both neurological and mental. The objective of this book is to give a general view of neuropsychiatry and its applications. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
