BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To examine neurologists' practices in managing mental health care. The study aims to identify gaps in coordination between neurology and mental health care and to assess neurologists' perspectives on integrating mental health services into neurology clinics. METHODS: A mixed-methods approach was used, combining survey data and qualitative interviews of key informants. The survey assessed management strategies for psychiatric comorbidities through 3 hypothetical cases and questions regarding referral patterns, accessibility of mental health professionals, and perceived effectiveness of mental health care. Chi-square tests were conducted to compare responses by location (the United States vs international) and specialty (general neurology, subspecialist neurology, and neuropsychiatry). RESULTS: Significant differences in follow-up plans (χ DISCUSSION: Most neurologists favor integrating mental health services within neurology clinics, underscoring the need for better care coordination. Despite the global effort to integrate mental health in primary care, these findings suggest a need to consider alternative models in coordinating mental health care.
