Neuropsychiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with psychiatry as it relates to neurology, in an effort to understand and attribute behavior to the interaction of neurobiology and social psychology factors.^[1] Within neuropsychiatry, the mind is considered "as an emergent property of the brain",^[2] whereas other behavioral and neurological specialties might consider the two as separate entities.^[3] Those disciplines are typically practiced separately.

Currently, neuropsychiatry has become a growing subspecialty of psychiatry as it closely relates the fields of neuropsychology and behavioral neurology, and attempts to utilize this understanding to better understand autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Tourette syndrome, among others.
