Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Cerebrovascular Diseases

This review covers the psychiatric and behavioural symptoms that follow cerebrovascular disease, drawing on contributions from active authorities in the field. Diagnosis and management take centre stage, and the authors weigh the methods and limits of current research alongside the questions that remain open.

Pharmacological treatment is discussed in practical detail, with information on drug dosages, side effects and interactions, so that clinicians can look after these patients more safely. Illustrative cases bring the material into realistic clinical settings and make the discussion easier to follow.

The book is part of the Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Neurological Disease series. It will interest neurologists, stroke physicians and psychiatrists, and also intensive care doctors, psychologists, neuropsychologists, specialist nurses and clinical researchers.
