  • Title: [Acute organic psychoses in the hospital. I. Clinical and differential diagnosis].
    Author: Zumbrunnen R, Cantin R.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1989 Dec 05; 78(49):1377-81. PubMed ID: 2595154.
    Abstract:
    In the general hospital, some patients may exhibit major mental disturbances secondary to a physical disorder. Early diagnosis of the organic etiology of these psychiatric disorders is essential, since the sooner an etiological treatment is applied, the better is the prognosis. In most cases, these psychiatric organic disorders should be treated in the general hospital. The article intends to make the non-psychiatric physician more familiar with the diagnosis of acute psychoses, especially in helping him to distinguish the organic from the 'functional' psychoses.
