Résumé : The evaluation and diagnosis of an agitated patient can be challenging, especially when one cannot interact with the patient and one has no information about his history or possible underlying causes. This increases the likelihood of an erroneous diagnosis and improper treatment. The modern tendency to separate completely the training of psychiatrists and neurologists and the strict schism between « organic » and « psyche » are responsible for the diagnostic errors described in this article.
