The search for new approaches to the mental disordersclassification is one of the priority tasks in modern psychiatry. Current approaches evaluate mental disorders in isolation, ignoring the fact that they are a multisystem pathology that affects not only mental functions, but also a wide range of somatic manifestations. However, there is more and more reason to consider mental disorders as multisystem diseases. This approach is of interest not only for explaining the high comorbidity of somatic and mental disorders, but also in studying the pathophysiological mechanisms that determine the risks and course of multisystem diseases. This strategy can be the basis for the fundamentally new approaches to the systematics of mental disorders with both theoretical and practical significance. To integratesuch an approach, it is necessary to determine the “starting point”, which may be the evaluation of mental disorders andinherited metabolic disorders interaction.
