Most people think of neurosurgeons as brain surgeons. However, neurosurgeons are medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders of the entire nervous system. Functional neurosurgery is a fast-growing subspecialty and is being highlighted this August in celebration of Neurosurgery Outreach Month.

psychiatric disorders.
