Clinical features
Definitions
As individuals live longer we have an increasingly aging population, and mental health nurses need to be able to respond effectively to this change.
Generally a functional disorder is different from an organic disorder in that organic disorders result from an identified biological cause whereas in functional disorders there is no apparent biological cause.
Functional disorders in older adults include:
•• personality disorders
•• depression
•• anxiety disorders
•• mania
•• psychotic disorders.
The assessment, diagnosis and management of these functional disorders is the same for older adults as for younger adults.
