What can cause organic brain syndrome?

  2. A genetic disorder

  3. Physical disorders that impair mental function

  4. A temporary emotional state

The correct answer is: Physical disorders that impair mental function

Organic brain syndrome is a general term for any physical condition that causes impairment in brain function.

While psychiatric illness, genetic disorders, and temporary emotional states can all affect mental functioning, they do not fall under the definition of organic brain syndrome.
