[Neuropsychiatry as the interface of behavioral manifestations driven by brain dysfunction.].

Neuropsychiatry mainly deals with processes of the mind related to neurological diseases. Only secondarily, it deal with depressive and anxiety syndromes, as reactions to the presence of an acute, chronic, or degenerative neurological disease. This review illustrate the most frequent neuropsychiatric disorders in the context of the main neurological diseases, focusing on secondary psychic reactions to the development of neurological diseases. The main purpose of this paper is therefore to amplify the sensitivity of psychiatric colleagues towards these clinical conditions in order to create a communication channel with fellow neurologists and neuroradiologists that is not limited to simple counseling.
