Abstract
|
|
|
Psychiatric symptoms are nonspecific and commonly occur in medical as well as psychiatric disease. In addition, there is some evidence that a psychiatric diagnosis is associated with a high risk of medical illness. In determining whether the mood disturbance is due to a general medical condition, the clinician must establish the mood disturbance is etiologically related to the general medical condition through a physiologic mechanism. There can be a direct association between the general medical condition in question and the development of mood symptoms can provide a useful context in the assessment of a particular situation.
A´ careful and comprehensive assessment of multiple factors is necessary to make this judgement.
This paper would thus suggest that psychiatric symptoms are not illness-specific and may occur in a wide range of medical, as well as psychiatric, diseases.
