Hi there

 

Is it possible to ask your doctor what this diagnosis means? 

 

I can give you the information we have about Organic Brain Syndrome on Health Central. 

 

Our expert Christine Kennard describes it this way:  "Organic brain syndrome is a general term used to describe decreased brain function and is not a disease in itself. Causes can therefore be as different as brain injury due to stroke, Lupus, degenerative disease such as multiple sclerosis, Pick's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diseases causing low oxygen to the brain, to name but a few-the list goes on and on. Because of this the tests that determine what signs and symptoms are due to Lupus and what may be due to another disease such as Alzheimer's is a complex medical issue..." 

 

You really need to find out more from your doctor about what has caused this for you.

 

Thank you so much for your question.
