Talk:Cognitive disorder

Evaluation for intro to abnormal
This article is very short. There are references, but not a lot of information is being presented. Topics that could be addressed are: how the cognitive perspective would assess a person's mental health and how the cognitive perspective views treatment for psychological disorders. How many psychologists/therapists would describe themselves as using the cognitive perspective is another topic. Dandres19 (talk) 01:07, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced section "Cognitive mental disorder perspective" should be in a different article
The section "Cognitive mental disorder perspective" should be on the cognitive behavioral psychology page, as that is what it is discussing. A "Cognitive disorder" is something separate from cognitive theory, it is more a medical term. A cognitive disorder is defined a physiological problem which impairs cognitive function, not a problem with irrational thinking as this section implies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ederda (talk • contribs) at 01:12, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Merge proposal December 20, 2019
I propose that Organic brain syndrome be merged into this article. From looking at parts of the article including the sections names and the contents, cognitive disorder just seems to be the newer term for organic brain syndrome, this is also confirmed by a Google search. The articles are cover a lot of the same content. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 07:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge on the grounds that while these sets overlap, they are not the same. organic brain syndromes don't necessarily affect cognition; for example, many forms of stroke produce an aphasia and motor problems, but without problems of cognition. Conversely, cognitive disorders certainly need not be Organic brain syndromes, as traditionally defined; for example, the thought disorder of schizophrenia. Klbrain (talk) 17:15, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. These concepts are clearly different. Also, unlike cognitive disorder, organic brain syndrome is an obsolete psychiatric term, no longer in common use. It played in important role in the DSM-II, in which it was a broad concept encompassing dementia, intracranial infections (e.g. neurosyphilis), various other cerebral dysfunctions (e.g. mental problems due to arteriosclerosis), and disorders due to substance abuse (e.g. alcoholic hallucinosis and Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome). In the DSM-III, the group was renamed "Organic Mental Disorders". In the DSM-IV, the concept was abandoned entirely. I hope that the Organic brain syndrome article will someday be completely revamped, and re-written from a historical perspective, since the term is an important part of psychiatric history.

 * Also, maybe this article should be renamed Neurocognitive disorder, as this is the term which the DSM-5 prefers. Both are fine though. - Manifestation (talk) 11:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

broken citations
I don't know what happened or when it happened, but at some point in this article's history it appears that the in-line citations have gotten removed and... replaced by plain text version of the numbers? And the reference section (of which there are two) has clickable links in their citations that lead nowhere. Is there a way to easily fix this? Megaman en m (talk) 19:43, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Cognitive mental disorder perspective section
This section was present in the original version of the article (an article that referred to cognitive aspects of all mental disorders). The description in this section discusses categories and theories of psychotherapy. The article has changed drastically since the original and is now labeled "cognitive disorders". These terms have a very specific and narrow meaning in medicine (psychiatry, neurology) and psychology. This section no longer makes sense within this article. The categories described do not provide separate theories of "cognitive disorders" or "neurocognitive disorders", the class of disorders that was formerly referred to as delirium and dementia. Again, these terms have an accepted and specific definition in the scientific fields in which they are used, medicine (psychiatry, neurology) and psychology. If the article deviates from the commonly accepted meanings, this should be adequately explained within the article.

inclusion of ADHD and schizophrenia
Again, this article originally seemed to refer to cognitive aspects of all mental disorders. This is no longer the case. "Cognitive disorders" or "neurocognitive disorders" are the class of disorders that was formerly referred to as delirium and dementia. These terms have a accepted and specific definitions in the scientific fields in which they are used, medicine (psychiatry, neurology) and psychology. Any deviation from the commonly accepted meaning (to include disorders not categorized within the medical field or psychology as "cognitive disorders" or "neurocognitive disorders") should be explained.

Workplan
I think some areas of improvement can be to emphasize the current DSM-V nomenclature and refrain from using outdated DSM-IV nomenclature. Other areas of improvement could be to further discuss common causes and symptoms of delirium, particularly in the hospital setting. Perhaps another area that could be added is a chronic and acute neurocognitive disorder sections with discussion of how each can present and the timeline of presentations. Also, should there be at least some discussion of neurocognitive testing tools such as the MOCA and MMSE? Given the previous posts about the cognitive mental disorder perspective, and the fact that it directly opposes some of the language put forth in the DSKM-5 when pertaining to neurocognitive disorders I am going to delete that section. I do believe it could be useful in it's own page, or a part of a wider psychological theory page. Psychittome (talk) 01:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
