A concussion? Obviously it’s not considered a psychiatric condition but concussions check a lot of the right boxes abstractly.

What’s the right word to differentiate this from a psychiatric diagnosis? Neurological?

Not in my understanding. The line between neurological and psychiatric is more about history than about anatomy.

Instead, I would point to the physical trauma of a concussion as the differentiating factor.

There’s underlying physical causes for psychiatric conditions including in some cases physical trauma.
