August 14, 2019 Brian A. Fallon, MD Neuropsychiatry of Lyme Disease: New Developments
Most clinicians know the basics about Lyme disease, but may not recognize subtler neuropsychiatric presentations. In this webinar, Dr. Brian Fallon uses two cases to illustrate typical and atypical neuropsychiatric features and to discuss the latest science, including diagnostic assays, lessons from animal models and persistent Borrelia, treatment options, and the role of the psychiatrist.
Brian A. Fallon, MD
Dr. Fallon is Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University. He did his medical school and residency at that institution, and is currently director of the Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases Research Center and the Center for Neuroinflammatory and Somatic Disorders at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

He has received funding for research in Lyme Disease and related areas from the Cohen Foundation, the NIH NIAID, the Global Lyme Alliance, the FDC Foundation, and an anonymous foundation.

The Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a professional organization of physicians who provide psychiatric care to people with coexisting psychiatric and medical illnesses, both in hospitals and in primary care. Our specialty is called consultation-liaison psychiatry because we consult with patients and liaise with their other clinicians about their care.
With nearly 2,000 members, the Academy is the voice of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the US with international reach.
