Diagnoses are broken down into several different categories.
It’s impossible to remember them all and while I will outline the classifications
here broadly and then outline each individual classification in later posts, I
will only fully expand on the most common diagnoses.
Classification I: Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy,
Childhood, or Adolescence
Classification II: Delirium, Dementia, Amnesia, and Other
Cognitive Disorders
Classification III: Mental Disorders due to a General
Medical Condition Not Elsewhere Classified
Classification IV: Substance Related Disorders
Classification V: Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic
Disorders (These ones mean that the psychotic issues are the main trait of the
disorder. If psychosis is a symptom, the disorder will be listed elsewhere)
Classification VI: Mood Disorders
Classification VII: Anxiety Disorders (Except Separation
Anxiety due to age)
Classification VIII: Somatoform Disorders (manifest as
physical problems implying a medical problem but one is not found)
Classification IX: Factitious Disorders (client claims to
have physical, mental, or emotional symptoms that aren’t real and are caused by
internal inducements)
Classification X: Dissociative Disorders (disturbance in
awareness, recollation, identity, discernment)
Classification XI: Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders
Classification XII: Eating Disorders
Classification XIII: Sleep Disorders
Classification XIV: Impulse Control Disorders Not Elsewhere
Identified
Classification XV: Adjustment Disorders
Classification XVI: Personality Disorders
Classification XVII: Other Conditions That May
be a Focus of Clinical Attention
