AI Medical Scribe for

Neuropsychiatrists

Your notes have to hold a full MSE, cognitive testing, and neurological context in one document — often with collateral from family. Medical Scribe drafts the whole neuropsychiatric evaluation from the conversation itself.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for neuropsychiatrists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Neuropsychiatry Eval Ready to copy

History of Presenting Complaints

58M referred for low mood and cognitive complaints 7 months after left frontal ischemic stroke. Reports pervasive sadness, loss of interest, and poor concentration; abandoned his return-to-work plan. Wife (present, consenting) describes uncharacteristic apathy and irritability since the stroke, worse in the evenings. No prior psychiatric history. Sleep fragmented; appetite reduced with 4 kg weight loss.

Mental Status Examination

  • Appearance and behaviour: appropriately dressed, psychomotor slowing, reduced spontaneous speech
  • Mood: 'flat, like the colour went out' — affect restricted, congruent
  • Thoughts: linear, no delusions; content notable for hopelessness about recovery
  • Cognition: MoCA 23/30 — points lost on attention, delayed recall, and fluency; oriented fully
  • Insight and judgment: good insight into mood change; judgment intact

Risk Assessment

Passive thoughts that 'it wouldn't matter if I didn't wake up'; denies active suicidal ideation, plan, or intent. No prior attempts, no access to firearms. Protective factors: supportive spouse, engaged with rehabilitation team. Overall risk currently low; safety discussed with patient and wife.

Diagnosis

Depressive disorder due to another medical condition (post-stroke depression), with contribution of vascular cognitive impairment — MoCA 23/30 with frontal-predominant deficits consistent with left frontal infarct on MRI.

Treatment Plan

  • Start escitalopram 10mg daily; reviewed onset timeline and side effects, including interaction check with clopidogrel
  • Refer for formal neuropsychological testing to characterize cognitive profile
  • Behavioural activation plan coordinated with stroke rehabilitation team
  • Repeat MoCA and PHQ-9 at 8-week review; wife to contact clinic if worsening apathy or emerging safety concerns

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Neuropsychiatry documents two specialties at once

MSE plus cognition plus neurology

A post-TBI or suspected-dementia evaluation needs a structured mental status exam, cognitive screening scores, and neurological findings — every domain reconstructed after a 90-minute interview.

Collateral is half the history

Family members describe the personality change, the disinhibition, the missed bills. Capturing two narrators faithfully while observing the patient is beyond what typing allows.

Reports carry medicolegal weight

Capacity opinions, post-injury assessments, and risk documentation get read by courts, insurers, and guardianship proceedings. Every observation needs to be precise and attributable.

Built for the long neuropsychiatric interview

Ninety-minute evaluations with a patient and a family member, post-TBI follow-ups, and telehealth cognitive reviews are all recorded the same way — in person or virtual — and drafted into a complete note while the interview is still fresh. You stay focused on observing affect, speech, and behaviour instead of transcribing them.

Every section of the Neuropsychiatrist’s note

Generated notes follow the built-in Neuropsychiatrist’s note template: History of Presenting Complaints, Past Medical & Psychiatric History, Medications, Family History, Social History, Mental Status Examination, Risk Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan, and Safety Plan. A Mental Health Care Plan template handles GP-referred care planning. Custom formats take minutes.

Precision where neurology meets psychiatry

Distinguishing post-stroke depression from vascular cognitive impairment — or bvFTD from late-life depression — turns on exact observations and scores. Medical Scribe documents only what was said and observed in the room: the MoCA result you stated, the collateral the spouse gave, the risk language the patient used. Nothing is invented, and nothing is signed but by you.

Frequently asked questions

Does the note capture both the psychiatric and the neurological side of the assessment?

Yes. The built-in Neuropsychiatrist's note template spans History of Presenting Complaints, Past Medical & Psychiatric History, Medications, Family and Social History, a full Mental Status Examination, Risk Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan, and Safety Plan — with cognitive findings and scores documented where you state them.

Can it handle collateral history from a spouse or caregiver in the room?

Yes. The note reflects the whole conversation, attributing collateral observations to the informant — often the core of a neuropsychiatric history in TBI, dementia, and personality-change presentations.

Is risk documented defensibly enough for medicolegal contexts?

The Risk Assessment section records exactly what was said about ideation, intent, plan, and protective factors — never inferred, never invented. You review, edit, and sign before the note is filed, so the record reflects your clinical judgment.

We prepare Mental Health Care Plans for referring GPs. Is that supported?

Yes. Alongside the Neuropsychiatrist's note there's a built-in Mental Health Care Plan template covering diagnosis, clinical details, MSE, risk, formulation, patient education, the care plan itself, and review arrangements.
