Q

Using the example of depression, state how section F would be used for a diagnosis.

A

Section F is used to represent mental disorders by splitting them into categories which represent a number between 1-10 and so a mood disorder would be F3. This is then specified into the disorder using another number whereby depression is signified with F32.

Q

Using the example of depression, state how the extension of the amount of numbers after the letter F can lead to a more specific diagnosis.

A

More digits tell you the specific sub-type of disorder and so depression being F32 can extend to F32.0 to signify mild depression which makes the diagnosis more specific.
