Neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders are significant contributors to global health issues, making it essential to pinpoint their causes for a clearer understanding of their underlying mechanisms and effective treatment strategies.
Our book, *Infectious Diseases in Neurocognitive and Neuropsychiatric Medicine*, delves into various infectious diseases linked to cognitive and neuropsychiatric functions. The first three parts of the book provide in-depth coverage of a diverse range of viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases impacting neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric health. Subsequent sections explore clinical conditions and syndromes related to infectious diseases, along with the intriguing connections between these disorders and the human microbiome, as well as insights into childhood development.
Each chapter not only details the molecular and clinical aspects of these infectious diseases but also highlights their epidemiological characteristics, pinpointing their potential effects on cognitive and neuropsychiatric health. Furthermore, the book discusses available treatments and mitigating strategies to address cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric issues that may arise from these infections.
By investigating the interplay between infectious diseases and neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders, this volume enhances our understanding of the critical role infections may play in mental health.
