Neuropsychiatry
Neuropsychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior, specifically how brain conditions can affect mental health. It combines principles from psychiatry and neurology to understand disorders like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, which often have both psychological and neurological components. Neuropsychiatrists assess and treat these disorders using a combination of therapies, medications, and brain imaging techniques to better understand how the brain's functioning influences emotional and cognitive issues. This field aims to provide a more integrated approach to mental health care.
