NeuroPsychiatric Hospital

NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals (NPH) is a network of hospitals dedicated to treating patients with major acute mental events as well as concomitant medical and/or neurological conditions. Patients admitted to a NeuroPsychiatric Hospital are too medically and/or neurologically ill to be treated in a traditional psychiatric hospital, but they are also too psychiatrically impaired to be admitted to a traditional medical hospital.

NeuroPsychiatric Hospital: NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals (NPH) is a network of hospitals dedicated to treating patients with major acute mental events as well as concomitant medical and/or neurological conditions. Patients admitted to a NeuroPsychiatric Hospital are too medically and/or neurologically ill to be treated in a traditional psychiatric hospital, but they are also too psychiatrically impaired to be admitted to a traditional medical hospital. A 55-year-old patient who is seriously psychotic, a threat to self and others, AND has an infectious condition such as AIDS is an example of a patient who would need to be admitted to a NeuroPsychiatric Hospital facility. Another example would be a 20-year-old with Autism who has extreme mood swings, is very violent, and suffers from extreme mood swings. An 85-year-old man with severe dementia, who is violent toward others and suffers from acute kidney disease and diabetes, is a third example.
