Abstract

Introduction

Mental health and neurology have long been viewed as separate fields, but advances in research highlight the deep connections between them. As we better understand the brain, it's clear that mental health conditions and neurological disorders often share overlapping biological and psychological pathways. Addressing these interconnections can lead to improved patient outcomes and more comprehensive approaches to treatment. To truly meet the needs of patients with conditions affecting the brain, we must close the gap between these two disciplines, fostering a more integrated and holistic healthcare approach.
