AB  - Psychiatric  and  social  disorders  frequently  confound  patient  evaluation  in  medical  settings.  A  psychiatric  diagnosis  in  no  way  decreases  the  probability  of  organic  disease  in  a  patient  with  appropriate  signs  and  symptoms.  We  must  strive  to  simultaneously,  not  sequentially,  diagnose  and  appropriately  treat  coexisting  psychiatric  and  medical  illnesses.  Delayed  diagnosis  of  organic  disease  in  patients  with  psychiatric  illness  is  all  too  common;  clinicians  must  take  extra  care  evaluating  these  complicated  patients.  Consult  with  a  psychiatric  colleague  whenever  there  is  concern  for  a  confounding  psychiatric  disorder.
