Interrelations between organic, psychogenic and functional disorders are under discussion. Two classes of nervous system diseases are distinguished: organic and psychogenic ones. Functional disorders manifest themselves in all pathology patterns. The basis of the organic patterns is formed by morphological and neurochemical derangements. Psychogenic diseases may be distributed into neurotic, psychosomatic and psychophysiological disorders. The neurological aspects are considered.
