General

Neurology and psychiatry have drifted apart, but neuropsychiatry provides a new, problemoriented perspective on the connection between brain, behaviour and psycological symptoms. During this symposium expert will share their knowledge about diagnostics, treatment and cases.

What do you do when complaints are not easily placed?

When behaviour changes, cognition malfunctions or sense of reality shifts, often doubt arises: is it a neurological problem, a psychiatric image or a combination of both?
Neurology and psychiatry used to be one discipline, but over time they have drifted further apart. Yet the relation between brainfunction and behaviour remains relevant for both. The neuropsychiatry provides a thinking framework based on complaint and clinical problems, not based on a label. During this symposium we will discover this problem oriented thinking. Using recognizable case reports, experts will demonstrate how to think clinically when the diagnosis remains uncertain and the disciplines reach eachother. Think about situations of acute confusion, behavioral changes at later ages, psychotic symptoms with a somatic component or doubt between neurological and psychiatric explanations.
