I haven't been to one, my pdoc works in a neurology office, so is sensitive to my own neurological illness.

The difference between a pdoc and and neuropdoc is in the types of training.

Hope you find someone that is right for you

Both psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrists (behavioral neurologists) both start with medical school. Psychiatrists focus on psychiatric disorders, most of which have no identified brain cause; neuropsychiatrists get additional training in neurology and focus on disorders that may have a defined brain problem such as a stroke that is causing or contributing the behavioral difficulties
Thanks for this!
