Neuropsychiatric Disorders

What Are Neuropsychiatric Disorders?

Neuropsychiatric disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect both neurological (brain-related) and psychiatric (mental health-related) functions. These disorders are typically caused by disruptions in brain chemistry, structure, or function, often due to genetic, environmental, or traumatic factors. Common neuropsychiatric disorders include:

• Depression and Anxiety: These emotional disorders may be linked to neurological changes or imbalances in brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.
• Bipolar Disorder: This mood disorder involves extreme mood swings, from manic highs to depressive lows, often with underlying neurochemical dysfunction.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD combines compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts, with research suggesting a neurological basis for the repetitive actions.
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): This disorder, commonly diagnosed in childhood, affects attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity, with its roots in brain function.
• Schizophrenia: A severe mental disorder affecting thought processes and perceptions, schizophrenia is strongly linked to neurological changes in the brain.
• Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: These neurodegenerative disorders primarily affect memory and cognition, often leading to significant psychiatric symptoms such as confusion, agitation, or depression.
