Following our September presentation, we will continue to investigate the link between neuroinflammation and common psychiatric symptoms. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there is increased awareness among the medical community that viral (and other microbial) infections can both cause new psychiatric symptoms or exacerbate pre-existing conditions. It will cover the underlying neuropsychoimmunologic mechanisms that have recently been identified in literature and the subsequent psychiatric manifestations that can follow. It will discuss clinical pearls as well as testing and treatment options that can assist with accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatments. There will be relevant case presentations throughout both parts of the lecture series that give pertinent examples of how to recognize these symptoms and apply novel integrative approaches to treatment. Additionally, there will be discussion of the necessary collaborative approach to helping this complex patient population.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the neuropsychoimmunologic mechanisms underlying psychiatric
    symptoms.
  • Recognize when neuroinflammation is likely to be playing a causative role in
    psychiatric symptoms.
  • Formulate appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for patients with
    neuroinflammatory psychiatric symptoms.
