Neurology and psychiatry have long been divided as distinct specialties in medical practice despite clear CNS illness symptom and treatment overlap between these two fields. While neurologists are known to focus on objective markers and psychiatrists on mental states, patients often present with conditions (e.g., epilepsy and movement or autoimmune disorders) that defy such separation. The frequent fragmentation of care, with minimal interdisciplinary communication, leads to frustration for patients and providers alike. The emerging field of neuropsychiatry offers a more integrated approach. Neuropsychiatry is grounded in the understanding that neurological and psychiatric symptoms frequently coexist and influence one another. Historical figures like Charcot and Freud, and even Hippocrates, recognized this overlap long before ICD and DSM classifications existed. Today, collaborative assessments and treatments (in epilepsy and functional neurological disorders) demonstrate the value of merging these two fields. However, systemic inertia, medical training silos, and reliance on measurable data have sustained this divide. A new generation of clinicians trained in both disciplines, with a shared language and broader therapeutic perspective, is needed. Neuropsychiatry may not only bridge two specialties but reframe how we understand, diagnose, and treat complex disorders, ultimately offering more cohesive care for patients and improving treatment outcomes.
