ABSTRACT

The most severe mental disorders with a physiological and organic basis are described. These are less frequent in industrialized countries, but are common in the rest of the world. They should not be mistaken for emotional disorders, and require a specific treatment. States like delirium due to infection, cerebrovascular accidents, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, alcohol withdrawal, hyperammonemia, Syndenham chorea, chorea gravidarum, epilepsy, water intoxication and hypopituitarism are described. It is essential that clinicians recognize and diagnose these conditions. A correct diagnosis can prevent severe sequelae and the therapy is relative simple in some of them.
