ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) Chapter V codes for Mental Disorders:

ICD-10 codes consist of a single letter followed by 3 or more digits, with a decimal point between the second and third ( e.g K35.1, "Acute Appendicitis with peritoneal abscess" ). As there are many thousands of variations at the 4 character level - where all three digits are used - it is common practice to summarize at the 3 character level ( e.g. K35, "Acute appendicitis", which includes peritoneal abscess and all other forms of the condition ). The diagnoses are presented in code order ( i.e. rather than by the diagnosis name ). The list of ICD-10 chapters below should help you locate the particular diagnosis you require from these tables:

Codes:

  • A and B Certain infectious and parasitic diseases.
  • C00 to D48 Neoplasms.
  • D50 to D89 Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism.
  • E Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases.
  • F Mental and behavioral disorders.
  • G Diseases of the nervous system.
  • H00 to H59 Diseases of the eye and adnexa.
  • H60 to H95 Diseases of the ear and mastoid process.
  • I Diseases of the circulatory system.
  • J Diseases of the respiratory system.
  • K Diseases of the digestive system.
  • L Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
  • M Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue.
  • N Diseases of the genitourinary system.
  • O Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.
  • P Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period.
  • Q Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities.
  • R Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified.
  • S and T Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
  • U This letter is currently left vacant.
  • V, W, X and Y External causes of morbidity and mortality.
  • Z Factors influencing health status and contact with health services.
