perpetuates the idea that mental and physical disorders are different and somehow not related.
21st century increasing evidence from the field of molecular biology shows that “Mental state” have their representation in brain neuronal anatomy and functioning.
Neuro scientific discovery and developments continue to advance at a remarkable pace and continue to the evolving understanding of brain function.

II)NEURO PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
RESEARCH Karanau (2002) did a study on “Neuro psychiatry: a useful adjunct to comprehensive neuro science nursing care. They found that nursing interventions are developed to improve functional ability and promote independence. If a neuro psychiatric nurse is not available________ skill can be employed by neuro science nurses and implemented on neurological and neuro surgical units.
ROLE OF NURSENeuro biology is a part of the standards of practice for
psychiatric/ mental health nursesNeuro plastic applications are also leading to new
approaches for treating disordersEffective patient and family teaching is an important
function of the role of psychiatric mental health nurse as researchers regarding structure and functions of CNS
Apply biological principles in all aspects of nursing care and ensure comprehensive and quality mental health
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Current concepts with dynamic development will continue to
stimulate and positively challenge the truly professional nurse
