This chapter outlines the nature of common and notable brain disorders that have psychiatric consequences for children and young people. All are often managed by paediatric disciplines in European, Australian, and North American countries. Psychiatrists, however, are often the lead discipline in countries where the medical aspects are considered as less important than the mental. In most countries, physical and mental specialists need to work together with enough understanding of each other’s role that there is no gap in the provision of service. Recognizing multiple morbidity is key. This chapter therefore covers the basics of medical diagnosis and treatment as well as what is known about psychological intervention. Epilepsy, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, acquired traumatic injury to the head, localized structural lesions, and endocrine disorders are all described in the chapter. In addition, functional neurological disorders are considered, in order to inform joint diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
