Abnormal Processes

• Infectious, inflammatory, and immunologic disorders (eg, meningitis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis)
• Traumatic and mechanical disorders (eg, subdural and epidural hematomas,
  
  cord compression, peripheral nerve injury)
• Neoplastic disorders, including primary and metastatic
• Acquired metabolic and regulatory disorders (eg, delirium, Reye syndrome)
• Vascular disorders (eg, cerebrovascular occlusion, venous sinus thrombosis, arterial aneurysms, hemorrhage)
• Systemic disorders affecting the nervous system (eg, lupus, diabetic neuropathy)
• Idiopathic disorders affecting the nervous system
• Congenital disorders, including
  metabolic (eg, neural tube defects, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, Down syndrome)
• Degenerative disorders (eg, peripheral neuropathy, Alzheimer dementia, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
• Paroxysmal disorders (eg, epilepsy, headache, pain syndromes, and sleep disorders including narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome/periodic limb movement, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias)
• Disorders of special senses (eg, blindness, deafness)

Psychopathologic disorders, processes and their evaluation

• Early-onset disorders (eg, learning disorders)
• Disorders related to substance use
• Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
• Mood disorders
• Anxiety disorders
• Somatoform disorders
• Personality disorders
• Physical and sexual abuse of children, adults, and elders
• Other disorders (eg, dissociative, impulse control, post-traumatic stress disorder)
