Abstract

In this review of recent advances in the sub-specialty, we briefly discuss the current understanding of causes, presentations and evidence-based treatment of the most common disorders seen in clinical neuropsychiatry. Traumatic and acquired brain injury, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, sleep disorders and delirium are all considered, focusing on the most contentious issues and practical approaches to management and treatment.
