A Neuropsychiatrist practices medication management and psychotherapy just like a regular psychiatrist. However, a Neuropsychiatrist will have a biological approach based on brain structure. For example, in the treatment of depression associated with microvascular disease, a Neuropsychiatrist may look at the MRI to ascertain parts of the brain affected causing symptoms. Some neuropsychiatrists do not practice psychotherapy, and generally, most Neuropsychiatrists practice supportive psychotherapy rather than CBT and psychoanalytic therapy.
