Behavioral Neurology

Behavioral neurology is a subspecialty field that focuses on patients with disease or injury affecting the brain’s functionality. Behavioral neurologists will often evaluate people with:

  • Amnesia
  • Agitation
  • Aggression
  • Emotional lability
  • Confusion
  • Personality change
  • Obsessive-compulsive behavior
  • Hyperactivity
  • Psychosis

These conditions can be caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, PTSD, various dementias, or neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Behavioral neurologists often work alongside psychiatrists and neuropsychologists to determine the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Who can be helped?

Our center works with two types of patients: those who’ve been told they have dementia but have no clear diagnosis or treatment plan, and patients who simply worry they may be experiencing early signs of memory loss, emotional lability, or cognitive and behavioral changes without established diagnosis.

Our patients are frequently brought in by their concerned family members and friends because of their inability to recognize issues. We encourage every patient to come with a family member, close friend, or confidant who knows the patient intimately and spends sufficient time around him or her to help with the evaluation.
