In 1984, neuropsychiatry in the Netherlands was a medical specialism in which both neurology and psychiatry were practiced. The doctor who had completed this five-year education could call himself a nurse.
Neuropsychiatry was divided into 2 medical specialties: neurology and psychiatry.
Today, neuropsychiatry is a subspecialization of psychiatry. In neuropsychiatry, the biological causes are mainly investigated in psychiatric disorders. For example, biological causes may be disorders in the neurotransmitter system or in the neural network structure of the brain. Neuropsychiatry is highly based on molecular psychiatry and biological psychiatry.
