Neurology for the Non-Neurologist, Sixth Edition is a practical guide for primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and
other non-neurologist clinicians who encounter patients with neurologic problems. The book begins with overviews of
neurologic symptoms, the neurologic examination, diagnostic tests, and neuroradiology, and then covers the full range
of neurologic disorders that non-neurologists encounter.



Chapters follow a consistent structure with key elements highlighted for quick scanning. Each chapter begins with Key
Points and includes Special Clinical Points interspersed with the text to focus readers on the most crucial details.
The authors alert readers to Special Considerations in the Hospitalized Patient and When a Non-neurologist Should
