Abstract

Alterations in mental status are a frequently encountered chief complaint that the emergency physician is asked to evaluate. These changes vary from marked depression of mental status to extreme over-activation. The differential diagnosis of altered mental status (AMS) is perhaps one of the broadest encountered in medicine. Here we will discuss alterations in mental status, and a diagnostic approach to these types of patients.
