ICD-11 Criteria for Secondary Impulse Control Syndrome (6E66)
A syndrome characterised by the
presence of prominent symptoms that are characteristic of Impulse Control
Disorders or Disorders Due to Addictive Behaviours (e.g., stealing,
fire-setting, aggressive outbursts, compulsive sexual behaviour, excessive
gambling) that are judged to be a direct pathophysiological consequence of a
health condition not classified under mental and behavioural disorders, based
on evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings. The
symptoms are not accounted for by delirium or by another mental and behavioural
disorder, and are not a psychologically mediated response to a severe medical
condition (e.g., as part of an adjustment disorder in response to a
life-threatening diagnosis). This category should be used in addition to the
diagnosis for the presumed underlying disorder or disease when the impulse
control symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant specific clinical
attention.
