ICD10 code of Depersonalization Disorder and ICD9 code

Depersonalization Disorder, also known as depersonalization-derealization disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of detachment from oneself or one's surroundings. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the specific code for Depersonalization Disorder is F48.1. This code falls under the category of "Other Neurotic Disorders" and is classified as a dissociative disorder.

On the other hand, in the previous version of the ICD, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), Depersonalization Disorder was not specifically listed as a separate disorder. Instead, it was included under the broader category of "Other Nonpsychotic Mental Disorders" with code 300.6. This category encompassed various conditions that did not meet the criteria for specific disorders in the ICD-9.

It is important to note that the ICD coding system is regularly updated to ensure accurate and comprehensive classification of medical conditions. Therefore, the ICD-10 code provides a more specific and detailed classification for Depersonalization Disorder compared to the ICD-9 code.
