À propos de cet e-book

Major changes in behaviors, thoughts, or emotions in children and adolescents may represent an underlying, diagnosable neurological disorder requiring further evaluation and treatment. When should you suspect these disorders? How can you avoid the devastating effects of missing them? How do you avoid unnecessary testing? Principles of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry through Complex Clinical Cases combines the knowledge and experience of seasoned neurologists and psychiatrists to answer these questions. This book invites the reader to join in the analysis of 12 different children and adolescents with neuropsychiatric presentations, from the first symptoms through diagnosis, management, and the discussion with the family. This book provides concise, timely, and practical discussions of important neuropsychiatric conditions, including autoimmune encephalitis, sleep disorders, catatonia, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will benefit physicians and mental health practitioners involved in assessing and treating children and adolescents. - Presents the most complex cases in Pediatric Neuropsychiatry - Provides the combined perspectives of the pediatric neurologist and psychiatrist at every stage of the patient evaluation - Highlights the difficulties in conveying the complexity of the diagnosis to patients and families and provides strategies for clinicians - Provides concise reviews of demographic factors, clinical presentation, and diagnostic and treatment considerations for central pediatric neuropsychiatric conditions - Includes take-home generalizable principles for differentiating psychiatric syndrome from a neurological disease etiology
