6E65 Secondary dissociative syndrome
A syndrome characterised by the
presence of prominent dissociative symptoms (e.g., depersonalization,
derealization) that is judged to be the 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 acute stress reaction 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
dissociative symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant specific clinical
attention.
