Reactive Attachment Disorder
Markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate social relatedness that begins before age 5 and is associated with grossly pathological child care.

About the F94 Code Range
The F94 ICD-10 codes cover disorders of social functioning with onset specific to childhood and adolescence, addressing conditions that affect how young individuals interact socially. These codes include specific diagnoses such as selective mutism and attachment disorders.
The ICD-10 code for selective mutism (F94.0) applies to children who consistently do not speak in certain social situations despite having the ability, also known as elective mutism. Codes F94.1 and F94.2 refer to reactive and disinhibited attachment disorders, respectively, which involve difficulties in forming secure emotional bonds, often related to early trauma or neglect. The F94.8 code is used for other specified childhood social functioning disorders, including anxiety and avoidant disorders during youth. When the social functioning disorder isn't otherwise classified, F94.9 serves as the unspecified category, encompassing general developmental delays in social skills. These codes help healthcare professionals accurately identify and report childhood social functioning challenges, improving clarity in diagnosis and treatment planning.
