    Abstract:
    The psychiatric assessment of the patients with organic illnesses is very difficult because of the bias related to physical symptoms (asthenia, anorexia). This could produce an over-diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders. The use of the specific psychiatric diagnosis criteria in the organic illnesses avoids this kind of problems and allows an improvement of their clinical assessment.
