Mental Disorders due to Organic Disease

In general, organic brain syndromes cause varying degrees of confusion, delirium (severe, short-term loss of brain function), agitation, and dementia (long-term, often progressive, loss of brain functions). Testing and physical examination vary depending on the specific disorder.
