What is transient organic phychosis?

3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Trans Org Psychosis: Features characterizing it are acute onset in all cases; presence of typical syndromes described as rapidly changing, variable, polymorphic states and typical schizophrenic symptoms; evidence for associated acute stress in a substantial number of cases and complete recovery in most cases within 2-3 months. Cannot be under influence of drugs or etoh, and an absence of organic causation must exist.

T.O.P...: Poisoning, alcoholism, disease, trauma, etc. Can produce organic (non-functional) mental illnesses in which a person has a distorted, but transient, sense of what is objective reality. This is to be distinguished from either schizophrenia or related affective disorders. Check out the many "scholarly" articles for more detail and current research. Thanks!

Delerium? not sure: This is an icd 9 diagnosis. I tried to compare this with the dsm IV tr (psychiatric diagnostic codes) & am wondering if this is the equivalent of delirium due to a general medical condition. I don’t have the back ground history on this. Was a psychiatrist or a neurologist consulted for accuracy of diagnosis?
