mnemonic: A COP
Acute Diseases
sudden onset, relatively short duration usually severe but resolves quickly with appropriate treatment
eg. common cold, flu, gastroenteritis
Chronic Diseases
long duration develop gradually requires ongoing treatment significantly impacts life
eg. diabetes, hypertension, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis
Organic Diseases
structural or functional abnormalities often from physical changes in the affected area
eg. coronary artery disease, liver cirrhosis
Psychogenic Disorders
somatoform conversion disorder
Infectious Diseases
pathogens, external virus, bacteria, fungi, etc
Genetic Diseases
can be mutations or from birth
Neurological Diseases
diseases that affect the nervous system brain, spinal cord, peripheral
Mental Health Disorders
