ICD-11 Criteria for Body Integrity Dysphoria (6C21)
Body integrity dysphoria is
characterised by an intense and persistent desire to become physically disabled
in a significant way (e.g. major limb amputee, paraplegic, blind), with onset
by early adolescence accompanied by persistent discomfort, or intense feelings
of inappropriateness concerning current non-disabled body configuration. The
desire to become physically disabled results in harmful consequences, as
manifested by either the preoccupation with the desire (including time spent
pretending to be disabled) significantly interfering with productivity, with
leisure activities, or with social functioning (e.g. person is unwilling to
have a close relationships because it would make it difficult to pretend) or by
attempts to actually become disabled have resulted in the person putting his or
her health or life in significant jeopardy. The disturbance is not better
accounted for by another mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorder, by
a Disease of the Nervous System or by another medical condition, or by
Malingering.
