Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
We speak of organic mental disorder when disturbances in behavior, mood, or thinking originate from a physical problem of the brain, such as an injury, an illness, or the effect of certain substances.
How it shows up: it may include changes in memory, confusion, and disturbances in mood or behavior that are linked to an identifiable biological cause.
When to see a doctor? In the face of noticeable and persistent changes in behavior, memory, or personality, especially if they appear along with other physical symptoms.
