Mental State Examination
A Some symptoms of psychiatric disorders
* A delusion is a firmly held belief which is wrong but not open to
arguments. For example, a deluded patient may not accept that
his psychiatrist is in fact a psychiatrist.
* Dementia is significant mental deterioration due to physical
changes in the brain.
* Disorientation is mental confusion about time, place or identity.
* Hallucinations are apparently normal perceptions which happen
without the appropriate stimulus. Any of the senses can be in-
volved but especially vision and hearing.
* Illusions are misinterpretations of real stimuli.
* Obsessional symptoms are stereotyped ideas or impulses which
the patient cannot resist. They include obsessional thoughts and
obsessional rituals.
