Unlock the Secrets of Neuropsychiatry: Advancing Diagnostic and Treatment Options

Neuropsychiatry is a rapidly evolving field that seeks to revolutionize our understanding of the intricate brain-mind relationship. By shedding light on the brain circuitry involved in primary psychiatric disorders, such as mood, anxiety, psychotic, and somatic symptom disorders, as well as neurological disorders presenting with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral problems, neuropsychiatry aims to improve diagnostic and treatment options for patients.
