Mental and behavioural disorders (F01–F99)

Chapter 5 of the ICD-10-CM, coded from F01 to F99, includes diagnoses related to a wide range of mental and behavioral disorders. These codes are used to identify conditions that affect mood, thinking, behavior, and emotional well-being.

This chapter covers disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse, as well as developmental and neurocognitive disorders. It helps healthcare providers document and track mental health conditions, guiding treatment and support strategies. The codes also include behavioral issues linked to various psychological conditions and some organic brain syndromes caused by physical or chemical changes in the brain. Understanding and accurately applying these codes supports clear communication among medical professionals and helps improve patient care in mental health services.
