This website is intended for physicians and trainees specializing in neuropsychiatry and related fields of medicine.  It offers a systematic and intuitive approach to the challenging endeavour of diagnostic formulation in clinical neuropsychiatry, via the Neuropsychiatric Formulation Chart*, available for free download.  It is based on the NECSA (Neuropsychiatric Effects of CNS Structural Abnormalities) Classification*, developed by Dr. Islam Hassan, a specialist physician with board certification in Neuropsychiatry (UCNS) and EEG (CSCN), and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
