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.
