Psychiatry and organicity interface: A case series

An agitated or suicidal patient brought by family or authorities at the A & E can be called as a prototypical psychiatric emergency. These individuals present with myriad of psychiatric symptoms which may have underlying organic etiologies and co-morbidities; final diagnosis should always be made after exclusion of such causes. At presentation identifying underlying medical condition masquerading as a psychiatric disorder can be difficult and challenging in such scenarios. We hereby present three cases where patients were admitted to a tertiary care set up with probable primary psychiatric syndromes; upon investigations were found to have medical co-morbidities ; which had pivotal implication on their management.
