NORWALK, Conn., March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that Psychiatric Times, a leading online community for mental health professionals, presents the latest information on neuropsychiatry.
The initiative is in anticipation of Brain Awareness Week (March 16 to 22), a global campaign to increase awareness and knowledge of brain research.
Neuropsychiatric care often "critically depends on psychological and environmental management, rather than on altering the brain itself," according to Special Report Chair Fred Ovsiew, MD. In Neuropsychiatry Is Thriving, Dr. Ovsiew explains that such care "testifies to the intractability of many brain diseases and to the need for neuropsychiatry to remember its psychiatric roots."
As an added bonus, Psychiatric Times has published a free CME, A Practical Update on Neuroimaging for Psychiatric Disorders, describing which neuroimaging test is appropriate for which psychiatric patient—and when.
Other clinical pieces featured on Psychiatric Times in honor of Brain Awareness Week include:
- The Neural Basis of Bipolar Disorder: Selected for clinical implications, this article highlights the growing body of knowledge about the neural mechanisms of bipolar disorder.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Neuropsychiatry: An update on the potential of TMS to treat cognitive disorders, depression, pain, and other manifestations of brain disease.
- Update on Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: An in-depth look at the evaluation, diagnosis, and fundamental treatment recommendations, protocols, and guides to therapy for this often misunderstood disorder.
- Management of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A considerable overlap exists between TBI and disorders in cognition. With more than 70% of cases of TBI considered mild, this is a subgroup of particular clinical interest.
Psychiatric Times is the country's leading psychiatric publication and regularly publishes content on key issues in mental health.
