A neurologist is a MD who specializes in the study, diagnosis and treatment of nervous system issues. As the nervous system pervades the entire body, this is a large field of study and calls for specialization.

Should you see a neurologist for psychosis?

Not usually. You would usually see your general practitioner for a referral to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists specialise in the treatment of mental illness. However, sometimes the psychiatrist might ask for a neurologist's opinion to rule out a possible differential diagnosis (for example, to check that the psychotic symptoms aren't related to temporal lobe epilepsy).


Is a neurologist able to prescribe medicine?

Yes, but you're better off either going to a Neurosurgeon or a Pain Specialist, and of those 2 a Pain Specialist is the preferred option depending on the type of pain. If you've not been diagnosed yet, then see the Neurosurgeon first - he'll do an MRI or CT and give you a better diagnosis than a Neurologist will as they deal with most back problems on a regular basis. It doesn't make any difference if you don't want or need surgery - the point is to get the best diagnosis in the beginning. Stay away from Orthopedists - bone doctors don't know anything when it comes to spinal nerve issues. TSD -RAVEN- - Category Supervisor
