Abstract:
The number of patients with mixed neurologic and psychiatric disturbances is large. The psychiatric disturbances are often atypical in presentation and fit poorly into standard psychiatric nomenclature. They can be difficult to treat using standard psychopharmacologic approaches. This report reviews the impact of brain dysfunction on the use of conventional and nonconventional psychotropic agents in this mixed population.
