Organic Mental Disorders:
In Organic Mental Disorders, it is assumed that all psychological and behavioural processes, whether normal or abnormal, are a result of normal or deranged brain function. A rational corollary would be that all psychiatric disorders are due to abnormal brain functioning and are therefore organic. However, this would be a gross oversimplification.
Types of Organic Mental Disorders:
According to our present knowledge, there are broadly three types of psychiatric disorders:
- Those due to a known organic cause.
- Those in whose causation an organic factor has not yet been found or proven.
- Those primarily due to unpredictable social factors.
Only disorders with a known organic cause are called organic mental disorders. Thus, organic mental
disorders are behavioural or psychological disorders associated with transient or permanent brain dysfunction and include only those mental and behavioural disorders that are due to demonstrable cerebral disease or disorder, either primary (primary brain pathology) or secondary (brain dysfunction due to systemic diseases). The use of term organic here does not imply that other psychiatric disorders are ‘non-organic’ in the sense of having no biological basis. It simply means that the organic mental disorders have a demonstrable and independently diagnosable cerebral disease or disorder, unlike other psychiatric disorders that do not at present.
Since organic brain illness can mimic any psychiatric disorder, especially in the initial stages, organic mental disorder should be the first consideration in evaluating a patient with any psychological or behavioural clinical syndrome. The presence of following features requires a high index of suspicion for an organic mental disorder (or what is loosely called as organicity):
- First episode.
- Sudden onset.
- Older age of onset.
- History of drug and/or alcohol use disorder.
- Concurrent medical or neurological illness.
- Neurological symptoms or signs, such as seizures, impairment of consciousness, head injury, sensory or motor disturbance.
- Presence of confusion, disorientation, memory impairment or soft neurological signs.
- Prominent visual or other non-auditory (e.g. olfactory, gustatory or tactile) hallucinations.
These disorders can be broadly sub-categorised into the following categories:

Mental and behavioural disorders
(F00-F99)
Organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders
(F00-F09)
- This block comprises a range of mental disorders grouped together on the basis of their having in common a demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other insult leading to cerebral dysfunction. Additionally; The dysfunction may be primary, as in diseases, injuries, and insults that affect the brain directly also selectively; or secondary, as in systemic diseases and disorders that attack the brain only as one of the multiple organs or systems of the body that are involved.
Dementia (F00-F03) is a syndrome due to disease of the brain, usually of a chronic or progressive nature, in which there is disturbance of multiple higher cortical functions, including memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement. Consciousness is not clouded. The impairments of cognitive function are commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, by deterioration in emotional control, social behaviour, or motivation. This syndrome occurs in Alzheimer disease, in cerebrovascular disease, and in other conditions primarily or secondarily affecting the brain.
- Use additional code, if desired, to identify the underlying disease.
F00*Dementia in Alzheimer disease (G30.-†)
- Alzheimer disease is a primary degenerative cerebral disease of unknown etiology with characteristic neuropathological and neurochemical features. The disorder is usually insidious in onset and develops slowly but steadily over a period of several years.
F00.0*Dementia in Alzheimer disease with early onset i.e. (G30.0†)
- Dementia in Alzheimer disease with onset before the age of 65, with a relatively rapid deteriorating course and with marked multiple disorders of the higher cortical functions.

- Presenile dementia, Alzheimer type
- Primary degenerative dementia of the Alzheimer type, presenile onset
F00.1*Dementia in Alzheimer disease with late onset i.e. (G30.1†)

F02*Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere
- Cases of dementia due, or presumed to be due, to causes other than Alzheimer disease or cerebrovascular disease. Onset may be at any time in life, though rarely in old age.
F02.0*Dementia in Pick disease i.e. (G31.0†)
- A progressive dementia, commencing in middle age, characterized by early, slowly progressing changes of character and social deterioration, followed by impairment of intellect, memory, and language functions, with apathy, euphoria and, occasionally, extrapyramidal phenomena.
F02.1*Dementia in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease i.e. (A81.0†)
- A progressive dementia with extensive neurological signs, due to specific neuropathological changes that are presumed to be caused by a transmissible agent. Onset is usually in middle or later life, but may be at any adult age. The course is subacute, leading to death within one to two years.
F02.2*Dementia in Huntington disease i.e. (G10†)
- A dementia occurring as part of a widespread degeneration of the brain. The disorder is transmitted by a single autosomal dominant gene. Symptoms typically emerge in the third and fourth decade. Progression is slow, leading to death usually within 10 to 15 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Organic Mental Disorders?
It is assumed that all psychological and behavioural processes, whether normal or abnormal, are a result of normal or deranged brain function.
What are the types of Organic Mental Disorders?
- Those due to a known organic cause.
- Those in whose causation an organic factor has not yet been found or proven.
- Those primarily due to unpredictable social factors.
Definition:
In Organic Mental Disorders, it is assumed that all psychological and behavioural processes, whether normal or abnormal, are a result of normal or deranged brain function. A rational corollary would be that all psychiatric disorders are due to abnormal brain functioning and are therefore organic. However, this would be a gross oversimplification.

Causes
This refers to the initiating factors that trigger a disease process.
- Examples of causes include:
- Pathogens: Viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites (infectious diseases)
- Genetic mutations: Inherited or spontaneous changes in genes (genetic diseases)
- Environmental factors: Toxins, radiation, nutritional deficiencies
- Lifestyle choices: Smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise (contributing factors)
Risk Factors
Risk factors are things that make you more likely to develop a disease in the first place.
Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis refers to the development of a disease. It’s the story of how a disease gets started and progresses.
This is the entire journey of a disease, encompassing the cause but going beyond it.
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology, on the other hand, focuses on the functional changes that occur in the body due to the disease. It explains how the disease disrupts normal physiological processes and how this disruption leads to the signs and symptoms we see.
Imagine a car accident. Pathogenesis would be like understanding how the accident happened – what caused it, the sequence of events (e.g., one car ran a red light, then hit another car). Pathophysiology would be like understanding the damage caused by the accident – the bent fenders, deployed airbags, and any injuries to the passengers.
In simpler terms, pathogenesis is about the "why" of a disease, while pathophysiology is about the "how" of the disease’s effects.
