  • Mental Disorders

CONT

When evaluating a patient who has evidence of cognitive decline, a number of reversible causes need to be excluded before one can diagnose a neurodegenerative pathology. One well‐known cause that needs to be excluded is depression.... Less commonly, other psychiatric conditions, such as mania, other psychoses, and conversion disorder, can also impair cognition and produce a similar clinical picture. Historically, this general phenomenon has been known as "pseudodementia"—defined as a psychiatric condition masquerading as neurodegenerative disease, but which is largely reversible when the psychiatric condition resolves or is successfully treated.

OBS

pseudodementia: The word "dementia" is sometimes considered pejorative.

Por el contrario, la mayoría de episodios maníacos parecen dominados más por la desorganización, la irritabilidad, la expansibilidad, la reducción de horas de sueño y la hiperactividad que por la alegría y la jocosidad.
