Psychiatric Disorders with a Biochemical Basis discusses the psychological/psychiatric consequences of biochemical, metabolic, and endocrine disturbances, highlighting pharmacological, toxicological, and nutritional aspects. Each clinical disorder is tackled from the angles of neuroanatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, with the details of neurotransmission receiving special attention. The book emphasizes inherited and acquired disorders arising secondary to biochemical and clinical disturbances. Scattered throughout the text are illustrative case histories relevant to each section. The book includes a listing of laboratory investigations applicable in the diagnosis of patients with psychiatric consequences of disorders of the developing brain, including the anatomical, biochemical, and cellular basis of fetal brain development.
