Abstract

The search for organic bases of mental illnesses is one of the central goals of psychiatry. Unlike other etiological hypotheses hard to verify, the search for organic bases brings psychiatry closer to other medical specialities. Such dysfunction may be primary (if it affects the brain directly or selectively) or secondary (if the dysfunction concerns various organs or systems including the brain). Reporting clinical cases in which there are clear connections between substrate damage and psychopathological expression can be illuminating, and occasionally a guide for future research. Two cases are presented with symptoms suggestive of childhood bipolar disorder, both due to organic causes.
