Mental Disorders Due to Another Medical Condition<\/strong>

General medical conditions can cause or be associated with a wide range of mental disorders. The psychiatrist should always remain vigilant for: (1) another underlying medical condition that the patient may have, and (2) illicit substances or medications that the patient may be taking.

Possible causes of psychiatric symptoms include:

\u2022 Neurological conditions: epilepsy, brain tumors, head trauma, and demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
\u2022 Infectious diseases affecting the brain: herpes simplex infection, neurosyphilis, HIV, Lyme disease, and prion diseases.
\u2022 Autoimmune diseases: such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
\u2022 Endocrine disorders: diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland.
\u2022 Metabolic disorders: hepatic encephalopathy, uremic encephalopathy, hypoglycemic encephalopathy, diabetic ketoacidosis, and acute intermittent porphyria.
\u2022 Nutritional disorders: including deficiencies of niacin, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B12.
\u2022 Toxic exposures: poisoning with substances such as mercury, lead, manganese, and arsenic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
