About

Biography

I am Katherine Brownlowe, MD, associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and I specialize in neuropsychiatry and the intersection of brain health and mental health.

I direct the Neuropsychiatry Clinic, serve as course director for the clinical neurosciences didactic program, and am faculty for the Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry (BNNP) fellowship. My research focuses on improving the recognition, evaluation and treatment of cognitive, behavioral and emotional symptoms associated with neurological conditions.

My work centers on understanding and addressing the psychiatric and neurobehavioral effects of conditions such as traumatic brain injury, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and brain tumors. Through clinical and academic collaborations, I seek to advance integrated approaches that bring together psychiatry and neurology to improve outcomes for patients experiencing complex neurological and mental health challenges.

I am committed to expanding knowledge in neuropsychiatry, educating future clinicians and promoting earlier identification of mental health concerns in individuals with neurological disease. My goal is to support research and clinical innovation that improves quality of life for patients and their caregivers while advancing the field of neurobehavioral health.
