Welcome to the Neuropsychiatry Department at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our Neuropsychiatry Department is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with disorders that involve the interface between psychiatry and neurology. We have a team of highly skilled neuropsychiatrists who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neuropsychiatric conditions.
Neuropsychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of conditions that affect the brain and mind. It encompasses the understanding of the interplay between neurological and psychiatric disorders. Our Neuropsychiatry Department offers a broad range of services, including:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our neuropsychiatrists perform thorough assessments to evaluate the neurological and psychiatric aspects of a patient’s condition. This includes a detailed history-taking, mental status examination, neuropsychological testing, and neuroimaging studies, if necessary, to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Mood and Anxiety Disorders: We specialize in the diagnosis and management of mood and anxiety disorders, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Our neuropsychiatrists develop personalized treatment plans that may include medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders: We diagnose and manage neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability. Our neuropsychiatrists work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists and occupational therapists, to provide comprehensive care for children, adolescents, and adults with these conditions.
- Neurocognitive Disorders: We specialize in the evaluation and management of neurocognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and other forms of dementia. Our neuropsychiatrists employ comprehensive approaches, including cognitive assessments, behavioral interventions, and medications, to optimize cognitive functioning and enhance quality of life for patients and their families.
- Movement Disorders: We diagnose and manage movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and tremors associated with various conditions. Our neuropsychiatrists work closely with neurologists to develop individualized treatment plans that may include medications, deep brain stimulation, and rehabilitation therapies to address motor symptoms and improve overall functioning.
- Psychiatric Symptoms in Neurological Disorders: We address psychiatric symptoms that can occur as a result of neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. Our neuropsychiatrists work collaboratively with neurologists and other specialists to manage these symptoms, including mood disturbances, anxiety, psychosis, and cognitive changes.
- Psychopharmacology and Psychotherapy: Our neuropsychiatrists are well-versed in the use of psychopharmacological medications and psychotherapeutic techniques. They employ evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs to address their neuropsychiatric symptoms and promote recovery.
Our Neuropsychiatry Department is committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. We understand the complex interactions between the brain and mind and strive to improve the overall well-being and functioning of our patients. We work closely with other medical specialties, including neurologists, psychologists, and rehabilitation therapists, to offer comprehensive and integrated care.
