• A case of de Clérambault syndrome in a male stalker with paranoid schizophrenia [2].
• Patients referred for depression but not diagnosed as such by psychiatrists received DSM-III-R diagnoses of Organic Mental Disorder, Somatoform and Related Disorders, Psychoactive Substance Use Disorders and Personality Disorders [3].
• This study examines the clinical characteristics of patients with methamphetamine-induced organic mental disorders that were seen in a psychiatric emergency service [4].
• Pica, organic mental disorder NOS, and Autistic Disorder were more often encountered in individuals with low intellectual functioning [5].

High impact information on Delirium, Dementia, Amnestic, Cognitive Disorders

• Effects of trazodone on aggressive behavior in seven patients with organic mental disorders [6].
• Moreover, there are anecdotal reports of a reduction in psychotic symptoms after vitamin B6 supplementation of psychopharmacologic treatment of patients suffering from schizophrenia or organic mental disorder [7].
• Organic mental disorders associated with bupropion in three patients [8].
• Part of bupropion's action may be attributed to inhibition of dopamine reuptake that may induce organic mental disorders in certain susceptible patients [8].
• We report three cases of organic mental disorders in patients receiving bupropion hydrochloride for treatment of the depressed phase of their bipolar-type mood instability [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Delirium, Dementia, Amnestic, Cognitive Disorders

Gene context of Delirium, Dementia, Amnestic, Cognitive Disorders

• These findings indicate that some agents used to improve cognitive function impairment in organic mental disorders may increase somatostatin and NPY content in the brain of rats [14].
• Reduced levels of somatostatin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) have been demonstrated in the brain of patients with some organic mental disorders [14].
• The results lead to two conclusions: first, Grant's postulation that sober alcoholics may manifest an intermediate duration organic mental disorder is supported; second, given the lack of ERP differences in the females, ERP measures should not be considered as being causally related to NP performance [15].
• The "stat" group was referred more often for the management of behavior and suicide risk evaluation, and received more diagnoses of organic mental disorders than the other referrals [16].
• The Face-Hand Test is a quick and simple neurological test which can be used to detect organic mental disorders [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Delirium, Dementia, Amnestic, Cognitive Disorders
