Optimal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system is dependent on a constant supply of essential nutrients. Nutritional deficiencies of thiamine and niacin, rarely vitamin B (12), and possibly folate can cause a wide range of neuropsychiatric manifestations.

Prognosis depends on prompt recognition and institution of appropriate therapy.
