Mental Disorders Associated With Pregnancy & Childbirth – ICD 11 Codes

Definition of Mental Or Behavioural Disorders Associated With Pregnancy Childbirth Or The Puerperium: Syndromes associated with pregnancy or the puerperium (commencing within about 6 weeks after delivery) that involve significant mental and behavioural features. If the symptoms meet the diagnostic requirements for a specific mental disorder, that diagnosis should also be assigned.

Mental or behavioural disorders associated with pregnancy childbirth or the puerperium without psychotic symptoms

Definition of Mental or behavioural disorders associated with pregnancy childbirth or the puerperium without psychotic symptoms: A syndrome associated with pregnancy or the puerperium (commencing within about 6 weeks after delivery) that involves significant mental and behavioural features, most commonly depressive symptoms.

Psychological or behavioural factors affecting disorders or diseases classified elsewhere

Definition of Psychological or behavioural factors affecting disorders or diseases classified elsewhere: Psychological and behavioural factors affecting disorders or diseases classified elsewhere are those that may adversely affect the manifestation, treatment, or course of a condition classified in another chapter of the ICD. These factors may adversely affect the manifestation, treatment, or course of the disorder or disease classified in another chapter by: interfering with the treatment of the disorder or disease by affecting treatment adherence or care seeking; constituting an additional health risk; or influencing the underlying pathophysiology to precipitate or exacerbate symptoms or otherwise necessitate medical attention. This diagnosis should be assigned only when the factors increase the risk of suffering, disability, or death and represent a focus of clinical attention, and should be assigned together with the diagnosis for the relevant other condition.
