FEATURES OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES.

The article discusses the features of mental disorders in neurological diseases - dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, multiple sclerosis. It is emphasized that psychopathological syndromes are not pathognomonic for certain neurological diseases. Among the signs that help in the correct diagnosis of mental disorders caused by neurological pathology, their sudden occurrence on a heteronomous basis with highly variable and atypical clinical manifestations for mental illnesses, the absence of a history of mental illness (including family history), resistance to drugs commonly used in psychiatric pathology, the patient's use of drugs that have mental disorders among their side effects are of great importance. However, ignoring the features of mental disorders, the lack of a clinically verified approach to this category of patients, difficulties in identifying the most significant symptoms can lead to erroneous diagnosis. That is why it is so important to know not only the neurological manifestations of certain neurological diseases, but also to correctly navigate their mental manifestations. To solve this problem, close cooperation between psychiatrists and neurologists is necessary.
