The Neuropsychiatric Mental Status Examination
Seminars in Neurology, 06/26/09
Faber RA - This article illustrates sensitive interview techniques for obtaining structured pertinent information to capture the effects of neuropsychiatric disorders. It then goes on to explain the components of the cognitive evaluation, with an emphasis on the hierarchical nature of cognition. It includes practical comments about evaluating cognitive dysfunctions, along with recommendations regarding the use of practical batteries. The mental status examination is then presented in detail, including nuances in assessing activity, mood, and perceptual disturbances. The manuscript content provides a template for the overall evaluation of neuropsychiatric patients.
