TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - The neurology-psychiatry divide: a thought experiment JO - BJPsych bulletin A1 - Reilly, Thomas J. SP - 134 EP - 135 VL - 39 IS - 3 N2 - Diseases of the brain are generally classified as either neurological or psychiatric. However, these two groups of illnesses cannot be readily separated on the basis of pathophysiology or symptomatology. It is difficult to rationally explain to someone with no prior frame of reference why we have the split between neurological and psychiatric illness. This demonstrates that the division is untenable, which has implications for training in both psychiatry and neurology.
