Neurocognitive Disorders (NCDs) are acquired conditions characterized by a decline in cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning. Common examples include dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), delirium, and cognitive impairment due to brain injury or disease. Mental Disorders Due to a General Medical Condition arise as a direct physiological result of a medical illness, such as depression from hypothyroidism or psychosis from a brain tumor.
Accurate diagnosis requires evidence of a clear causal link. Intellectual Disability (formerly Mental Retardation) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with significantly below-average intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during childhood. It affects daily life skills and social functioning. Neurodevelopmental Disorders include a group of conditions with early onset that affect brain development, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learning or speech disorders. These disorders impact learning, communication, and behavior.
