having in common a demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other
insult leading to cerebral dysfunction. The dysfunction may be primary, as in diseases,
injuries, and insults that affect the brain directly and selectively; or secondary, as in
systemic diseases and disorders that attack the brain only as one of the multiple organs
or systems of the body that are involved.
Dementia (F00-F03) is a syndrome due to disease of the brain, usually of a chronic or
progressive nature, in which there is disturbance of multiple higher cortical functions,
including memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity,
language, and judgement. Consciousness isnot clouded. The impairments of cognitive
function are commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, by deterioration in
emotional control, social behaviour, or motivation. This syndrome occurs in Alzheimer's
disease, in cerebrovascular disease, and in other conditions primarily or secondarily
affecting the brain.

Withdrawal state with delirium  
A condition where the withdrawal state as defined in the common fourth character .3 is
complicated by delirium as defined in F05.-. Convulsions may also occur. When organic
factors are also considered to play a role in the etiology, the condition should be
classified to F05.8.

.5
Psychotic disorder  
A cluster of psychotic phenomena that occur during or following psychoactive substance use
but that are not explained on the basis of acute intoxication alone and do not form part
of a withdrawal state. The disorder is characterized by hallucinations (typically
auditory, but often in more than one sensory modality), perceptual distortions, delusions
(often of a paranoid or persecutory nature), psychomotor disturbances (excitement or
stupor), and an abnormal affect, which may range from intense fear to ecstasy. The
sensorium is usually clear but some degree of clouding of consciousness, though not severe
confusion, may be present.

Residual and late-onset psychotic disorder
A disorder in which alcohol- or psychoactive substance-induced changes of cognition,
affect, personality, or behaviour persist beyond the period during which a direct
psychoactive substance-related effect might reasonably be assumed to be operating. Onset
of the disorder should be directly related to the use of the psychoactive substance. Cases
in which initial onset of the state occurs later than episode(s) of such substance use
should be coded here only where clear and strong evidence is available to attribute the
state to the residual effect of the psychoactive substance. Flashbacks may be
distinguished from psychotic state partly by their episodic nature, frequently of very
short duration, and by their duplication of previous alcohol- or other psychoactive
substance-related experiences.

anomalies occur at any stage. The symptoms may include a cold or inappropriate affect;
anhedonia; odd or eccentric behaviour; a tendency to social withdrawal; paranoid or
bizarre ideas not amounting to true delusions; obsessive ruminations; thought disorder and

F23
Acute and transient psychotic disorders
A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the acute onset of psychotic symptoms
such as delusions, hallucinations, and perceptual disturbances, and by the severe
disruption of ordinary behaviour. Acute onset is defined as a crescendo development of a
clearly abnormal clinical picture in about two weeks or less. For these disorders there is
no evidence of organic causation. Perplexity and puzzlement are often present but
disorientation for time, place and person is not persistent or severe enough to justify a
diagnosis of organically caused delirium (F05.-). Complete recovery usually occurs within
a few months, often within a few weeks or even days. If the disorder persists, a change in
classification will be necessary. The disorder may or may not be associated with acute
stress, defined as usually stressful events preceding the onset by one to two weeks.
急性与短暂性精神病症 
此类具高异质性之疾病 , 其特徵是精神病性症状 ,
如妄想、幻觉、知觉障碍等之急性发作 , 对日常生
活有严重干扰。急性发作是二星期内渐进性发作。
没有器质性病因之存在。常有迷惘或迷惑之症状 ,
但对人、地与时间之定向感障碍之持续性与严重性
均不足以明显到可做器质性谵妄 (F05.-) 之诊断。一般
在几个月、几星期或甚至几天内即完全恢复。若症
状持续 , 则要改变诊断。此疾病不一定与急性压力
有关 , 所谓急性压力是病前一、二星期内压力事件
之发生。  

F33
Recurrent depressive disorder
A disorder characterized by repeated episodes of depression as described for depressive
episode (F32.-), without any history of independent episodes of mood elevation and
increased energy (mania). There may however, be brief episodes of mild mood elevation and
overactivity (hypomania) immediately after a depressive episode, sometimes precipitated by
antidepressant treatment. The more severe forms of recurrent depressive disorder (F33.2
and F33.3) have much in common with earlier concepts such as manic-depressive depression,
melancholia vital depression and endogenous depression. The first episode may occur at any
age from childhood to old age, the onset may be either acute or insidious, and the
duration varies from a few weeks to many months. The risk that a patient with recurrent
depressive disorder will have an episode of mania never disappears completely, however
many depressive episodes have been experienced. If such an episode does occur, the
diagnosis should be changed to bipolar affective disorder (F31 .-).
Includes: recurrent episodes of:
. depressive reaction
. psychogenic depression
. reactive depression
seasonal depressive disorder
Excludes: recurrent brief depressive episodes (F38.1)
复发性郁症
疾病特徵是重覆发作的郁症 (F32.-) , 而且没有躁症如
情绪高昂、活动过度的发作病史。然而若一忧郁发
作之後 , 立即有轻微情绪高昂与过动的短暂轻躁症
发作有时是因抗郁剂治疗忧郁症所诱发的 , 仍要使
用此项分类。较严重之复发性郁症 (F33.2和F33.3) 与以前
躁郁性郁症 , melancholia , 生机性郁症与内因性郁症之概
念相似。初次发作可以由孩童期到老年期之任何年
龄 ; 发作或急性或渐近性 ; 其生病期间可以是几星
期至几个月不一定。复发性郁症者会发生躁症发作
的危险性 ( 无论经验多少次的忧郁发作 ) 决不会完
全消失。若发生躁症发作应将诊断改为双相情感障
碍症 (F31.-) 。
包含 : 重覆发作 :
. 忧郁性反应 (depressive reaction)
. 心因性忧郁 (psychogenic depression)
. 反应性忧郁症 (reactive depression)

不包含 : 复发性短暂忧郁发作 (F38.1)

F42
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
The essential feature is recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts. Obsessional
thoughts are ideas, images, or impulses that enter the patient's mind again and again in a
stereotyped form. They are almost invariably distressing and the patient often tries,
unsuccessfully, to resist them. They are, however, recognized as his or her own thoughts,
even though they are involuntary and often repugnant. Compulsive acts or rituals are
stereotyped behaviours that are repeated again and again. They are not inherently
enjoyable, nor do they result in the completion of inherently useful tasks. Their function
is to prevent some objectively unlikely event, often involving harm to or caused by the
patient, which he or she fears might otherwise occur. Usually, this behaviour is
recognized by the patient as pointless or ineffectual and repeated attempts are made to
resist. Anxiety is almost invariably present. If compulsive acts are resisted the anxiety
gets worse.
Includes: anankastic neurosis
obsessive-compulsive neurosis
Excludes: obsessive-compulsive personality (disorder) (F60.5)
强迫症
基本的特徵是反覆的强迫性思考或强迫性行动。强
迫性思考是指意念、心象或冲动以一种刻板的方式
, 一次又一次的进入病人的思绪当中。这些通常是
令人困扰的 , 病人通常会试着去抵抗上述意念 , 但
都不会成功。这些意念一向被病人认为是自己的思
考 , 纵使他们是非志愿或厌恶的。强迫性行动或仪
式行动是一种刻板的行为 , 被一次又一无可奈何次
的重复。这些并不令人感到愉快 , 也不能达成有用
的任务。病人通常把这些行动视为是一种用来避免
在客观上并不可能发生的对患者或他人的伤害 , 这
些行为通常会被病人认为是没有意义的或亳无作用
的 , 而且屡次地想来抵抗此行动 , 同时会有焦虑。
若试图抵抗此重覆行为 , 焦虑会加重。

不包含 : 强迫性人格障碍症 (F60.5)

F45.4
Persistent somatoform pain disorder
The predominant complaint is of persistent, severe, and distressing pain, which cannot be
explained fully by a physiological process or a physical disorder, and which occurs in
association with emotional . conflict or psychosocial problems that are sufficient to
allow the t conclusion that they are the main causative influences. The result is usually
a marked increase in support and attention, either personal or medical. Pain presumed to
be of psychogenic origin occurring during the course of depressive disorders or
schizophrenia should not be included here.

F48.0
Neurasthenia
Considerable cultural variations occur in the presentation of this disorder, and two main
types occur, with substantial overlap. In one type, the main feature is a complaint of
increased fatigue after mental effort, often associated with some decrease in occupational
performance or coping efficiency in daily tasks. The mental fatiguability is typically
described as an unpleasant intrusion of distracting associations or recollections,
difficulty in concentrating, and generally inefficient thinking. In the other type, the
emphasis is on feelings of bodily or physical weakness and exhaustion after only minimal
effort, accompanied by a feeling of muscular aches and pains and inability to relax. In
both types a variety of other unpleasant physical feelings is common, such as dizziness,
tension headaches, and feelings of general instability. Worry about decreasing mental and
bodily well-being, irritability, anhedonia, and varying minor degrees of both depression
and anxiety are all common. Sleep is often disturbed in its initial and middle phases but
hypersomnia may also be prominent.
Fatigue syndrome
Use additional code, if desired, to identify previous physical illness.
Excludes: asthenia NOS (R53)
