Description
The sixth edition of this popular favorite is ideal for board review, as well as for clinical reference on neurologic illnesses that can
cause or mimic psychiatric symptoms. First it reviews anatomic neurology, describes how to approach patients with suspected neurologic
disorders and correlates physical signs. Then it addresses clinical areas such as relevant history, easily performed examinations, differential
diagnosis, and management approaches, and reviews psychiatric comorbidity. Abundant line drawings, CTs, MRIs, and EEGs demonstrate key
clinical findings to facilitate diagnosis. And, more than 1,600 review questions help you to test and enhance your mastery of the material.
