The DSM and ICD classifications
The study followed patients 50 years of age and older without pre-existing dementia over a 12 year period and assessed for incident dementia as defined by an ICD-10 code of dementia and documented history of dementia medication. There were 44,956 individuals in the GA group, and 174,469 in the control group.
What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders ICD-10-CM F89 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 886 Behavioral and developmental disorders.
Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders in children include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, learning disabilities, intellectual disability (also known as mental retardation), conduct disorders, cerebral palsy, and impairments in vision and hearing.
ICD-10 code: F88 Other disorders of psychological development.
This chapter limits the discussion to the following five conditions: childhood anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder, autism, and intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder).
The DSM-5 Neurodevelopmental Disorders Work Group determined that autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett's disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified, were not being applied consistently and correctly by clinicians.
In these cases, a diagnosis of unspecified neurodevelopmental disorder may be used. Children with ASDs have difficulty in areas of social and emotional development, including: Developing relationships with other people, including their parents and children their own age. Communicating with other people.

ICD-10 code F88 for Other disorders of psychological development is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders .
A disorder diagnosed in childhood that is marked by either physical or mental impairment or both, which in turn affects the child from achieving age related developmental milestones.
There are four main types of developmental disorders: nervous system disabilities, sensory related disabilities, metabolic disabilities and degenerative disorders. Many different subsets of disabilities nest under these four main groups.
The following motor disorders are included in the DSM-5 neurodevelopmental disorders chapter: developmental coordination disorder, stereotypic movement disorder, Tourettes disorder, persistent (chronic) motor or vocal tic disorder, provisional tic disorder, other specified tic disorder, and unspecified tic disorder.
Neurodevelopmental disorders ADHD is characterised by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that has a direct negative impact on academic, occupational, or social functioning.

A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( F01-F99) and the excluded code together.
Developmental disabilities are birth defects that cause lifelong problems with how a body part or system works. They include. nervous system disabilities affecting how the brain, spinal cord and nervous system function. They cause mental retardation, including down syndrome and fragile x syndrome.
These impairments or disabilities originate before age 18, may be expected to continue indefinitely, and constitute a substantial impairment.
Unspecified Neurodevelopmental Disorder (UNDD) is a DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition), diagnosis assigned to individuals who are experiencing symptoms of a neurodevelopmental disorder, but do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for one of the Neurodevelopmental disorders.
The amygdala is the brain structure most frequently implicated in NDD, which would include UNDD. A sub-cortical structure regulates our response to potentially dangerous environmental stimuli. Sensory input goes to the orbito-frontal cortex, and to the amygdala for processing on an ongoing basis.
An underactive amygdala can result in high-risk behavior, and inappropriate social behavior. An overactive amygdala can produce excessive anxiety and risk aversion, as well as avoidance of social interaction (Schumann, Bauman, and Amaral, 2011).
The long-term stressors associated with caring for a child with NDD/UNDD can strain a marriage or sibling relationships. The parents and siblings can also learn how to best support the NDD/UNDD child. Family therapy may also reveal conflicts and stressors that have led to a clinical presentation misinterpreted as UNDD.
It is noted that in the early developmental years, psychosocial factors such as the quality of adult caregiver interaction can have enduring effects, either mitigating or worsening genetic influences (Bale, Baram, Brown, Goldstein, Insel, McCarthy, Nemeroff, Reyes, Simerly, Susser, and Nestler 2010).
The DSM-5 does not specify treatment for UNDD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Treatment will be dictated by diagnostic clarification, though there are overlapping treatment consideration across the spectrum of NDD/UNDD. The amygdala is noted as a common target for pharmacological interventions, given the commonality of amygdalary involvement in NDD Spectrum disorders (Schumann, Bauman, and Amaral, 2011). It could be postulated that behavioral interventions using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) could also be beneficial by modulating anxiety in social situations. Family therapy may be indicated as the diagnostic picture clarifies. The long-term stressors associated with caring for a child with NDD/UNDD can strain a marriage or sibling relationships. The parents and siblings can also learn how to best support the NDD/UNDD child. Family therapy may also reveal conflicts and stressors that have led to a clinical presentation misinterpreted as UNDD.
The diagnosis can be assigned when the clinician decides not to specify the reason the diagnostic criteria are unmet, or if there is insufficient information available at the time of the evaluation to make a more specific diagnosis (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
