Neuropsychiatric diseases viewed as multifaceted expression of a dysfunctional brain in which atypical responses are evoked by various sensory inputs. Disease entities have traditionally been classified according to the predominant manifestation ( ) without regard to the overlapping features of many of the diseases (+/-). Thus, mild to moderate pain, mood, cognitive, and neurosomatic symptoms are frequently present in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients. Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is listed as an example of a predominantly chronic pain syndrome. Affect (mood) disorders include depression (Depress.), anxiety, panic reactions, blunted affect, mania, etc. Schizophrenia (Schizo.) is listed as an example of a major cognitive psychosis. Autism as well as various forms of dementia would be included in this category. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is an example of a neurosomatic disease.
