ICD-11 Criteria for Neurocognitive Disorders (BlockL1‑6D7)

Neurocognitive disorders are characterised by primary clinical deficits in cognitive functioning that are acquired rather than developmental. That is, neurocognitive disorders do not include disorders characterised by deficits in cognitive function that are present from birth or that typically arise during the developmental period, which are classified in the grouping neurodevelopmental disorders. Rather, neurocognitive disorders represent a decline from a previously attained level of functioning. Although cognitive deficits are present in many mental disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorders), only disorders whose core features are cognitive are included in the neurocognitive Disorders grouping. In cases where the underlying pathology and etiology for neurocognitive disorders can be determined, the identified etiology should be classified separately.

Exclusions:

Neurodevelopmental disorders (BlockL1‑6A0)

Coded Elsewhere: Secondary neurocognitive syndrome (6E67)

6D70 Delirium

Delirium is characterized by a disturbance of attention, orientation, and awareness that develops within a short period of time, typically presenting as significant confusion or global neurocognitive impairment, with transient symptoms that may fluctuate depending on the underlying causal condition or etiology. Delirium often includes disturbance of behaviour and emotion, and may include impairment in multiple cognitive domains. A disturbance of the sleep-wake cycle, including reduced arousal of acute onset or total sleep loss with reversal of the sleep-wake cycle, may also be present. Delirium may be caused by the direct physiological effects of a medical condition not classified under mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders, by the direct physiological effects of a substance or medication, including withdrawal, or by multiple or unknown etiological factors.

6D70.0 Delirium due to disease classified elsewhere

All definitional requirements for delirium are met. There is evidence from history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that Delirium is caused by the direct physiological consequences of a disorder or disease classified elsewhere.

Coding Note: Identified etiology should be classified separately.

6D70.1 Delirium due to psychoactive substances including medications

All definitional requirements for delirium are met. There is evidence from history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the delirium is caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance or medication (including withdrawal). If the specific substance inducing the delirium has been identified, it should be classified using the appropriate subcategory (e.g., alcohol-induced delirium).

Coded Elsewhere:

Alcohol-induced delirium (6C40.5)
Cannabis-induced delirium (6C41.5)
Synthetic cannabinoid-induced delirium (6C42.5)
Opioid-induced delirium (6C43.5)
Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced delirium (6C44.5)
Cocaine-induced delirium (6C45.5)
Stimulant-induced delirium including amphetamines, methamphetamine or methcathinone (6C46.5)
Synthetic cathinone-induced delirium (6C47.5)
Hallucinogen-induced delirium (6C49.4)
Volatile inhalant-induced delirium (6C4B.5)
MDMA or related drug-induced delirium, including MDA (6C4C.5)
Dissociative drug-induced delirium including ketamine or PCP (6C4D.4)
Delirium induced by other specified psychoactive substance including medications (6C4E.5)
Delirium induced by multiple specified psychoactive substances including medications (6C4F.5)
Delirium induced by unknown or unspecified psychoactive substance (6C4G.5)

6D70.2 Delirium due to multiple etiological factors

All definitional requirements for delirium are met. There is evidence from history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the delirium is attributable to multiple etiological factors, which may include disorders or diseases not classified under mental and behavioural disorders, substance intoxication or withdrawal, or a medication.

Coding Note: Identified etiologies should be classified separately.

6D70.Y Delirium, other specified cause
6D70.Z Delirium, unspecified or unknown cause

ICD-11 Criteria for Single Episode Depressive Disorder (Depressive Episode) (6A70)

ICD-11 Criteria for Single Episode Depressive Disorder (Depressive Episode) (6A70) Single episode depressive disorder is characterised by the presence or history of one depressive episode when there is no history of prior depressive episodes. A depressive episode is characterised by a period of depressed mood or diminished interest in activities occurring most of the day, nearly every day during a period lasting at least two weeks accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt, hopelessness, recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, changes in appetite or sleep, psychomotor agitation or retardation, and reduced energy or fatigue. There have never been any prior manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes, which would indicate the presence of a bipolar disorder. Exclusions: Recurrent depressive disorder (6A71) Adjustment disorder (6B43) Bipolar...

ICD-11 Criteria for Depression (Recurrent Depressive Disorder) 6A71

ICD-11 Criteria for Depression (Recurrent Depressive Disorder) 6A71 Recurrent depressive disorder is characterised by a history or at least two depressive episodes separated by at least several months without significant mood disturbance. A depressive episode is characterised by a period of depressed mood or diminished interest in activities occurring most of the day, nearly every day during a period lasting at least two weeks accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt, hopelessness, recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, changes in appetite or sleep, psychomotor agitation or retardation, and reduced energy or fatigue. There have never been any prior manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes, which would indicate the presence of a Bipolar disorder. Inclusions: Seasonal depressive disorder Exclusions: ...

ICD-11 Criteria for Bipolar Type-1 Disorder

ICD-11 Criteria for Bipolar Type-1 Disorder 6A60 Bipolar type I disorder is an episodic mood disorder defined by the occurrence of one or more manic or mixed episodes. A manic episode is an extreme mood state lasting at least one week unless shortened by a treatment intervention characterised by euphoria, irritability, or expansiveness, and by increased activity or a subjective experience of increased energy, accompanied by other characteristic symptoms such as rapid or pressured speech, flight of ideas, increased self-esteem or grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, distractibility, impulsive or reckless behaviour, and rapid changes among different mood states (i.e., mood lability). A mixed episode is characterised by the presence of several prominent manic and several prominent depressive symptoms consistent with those observed in manic episodes and depressive episodes, which either occur simultaneously or alternate very rapidly (from day to day or with...
