Abstract
Neuropsychiatric diseases are common among forcibly displaced persons, and a better understanding is needed to improve screening and treatment efforts. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study at a single academic center looking at neuropsychiatric diagnoses of United States resettled refugees presenting for their domestic medical examination. Over one-third (33%) of our study population had at least one neuropsychiatric diagnosis. Although globally and in the United States, leading causes of neurological disease are stroke, dementia, and migraines, in our clinic the predominant etiologies were headache disorders, peripheral nerve disorders, and traumatic brain injury, highlighting a need for broadening screening at this initial visit.

期刊介绍：
Annals of Neurology publishes original articles with potential for high impact in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and science underlying diseases of the human nervous system. Articles should ideally be of broad interest to the academic neurological community rather than solely to subspecialists in a particular field. Studies involving experimental model system, including those in cell and organ cultures and animals, of direct translational relevance to the understanding of neurological disease are also encouraged.
