Is Neuropsychiatry an actual clinical field? Or is it just a reseach field? I mean:

-Are neuropsychiatrists consulted to see/evaluate actual patients? If so how? Are primary care docs familiar with what neuropsychiatrists do in order to get their consult?

-Where are they employed?

-What is the difference between it and behavioral neurology?

-I do not see neuropsychiatry listed as an official fellowship in FRIEDA, so how do people train in this field?

Thank you very much.

Neuropsychiatry was a blanket term used for organic aspects to psychiatry and neurology around 30 years ago. It isn't in itself a speciality per se, but would be the direction that things are going these days with fMRIs and DTI scans.

Back then the options were limited as the technology just wasn' there.

All psychiatry is now neuropsychiatry...it's just that the psychoanalists haven't figured it out yet.

Now should I correct my typing, or leave that Freudian slip out there for everyone to see?
