[The induction of psychopathology by somatic disorders, medications, toxins and drugs after systemic disorders].
The purpose of this article is to review the somatic disorders, drugs and toxics more often related to psychopathology. It is also exposed the conceptual framework chosen for this task, based in the nonlinear dynamical systems theory and in a recently proposed subdivision of central nervous system. We intuitively suggest that most psychopathological syndromes could be correlated with the cerebral dysfunction conditioned by the self-organization of dissipative structures formed by hierarchical and diffuse subsystems interrelated neurons groups. Any perturbation which affect these subsystems in a brain region, and change enough their activation level and interaction pattern to make any of these interactions functionally insufficient, could begin the process.
