Shared psychotic disorder (F24)
F24 is the ICD-10 code for shared psychotic disorder, a rare mental condition where a delusional belief is transmitted from one person to another. It specifically identifies cases where psychosis is induced in a second individual through close association with someone who already has a psychotic disorder.
This code covers conditions also known as induced psychotic disorder or folie à trois, reflecting the unique nature of shared delusions within a close-knit group or relationship. The ICD-10 code F24 helps healthcare professionals and medical coders accurately classify and document this distinct psychotic disorder within the schizophrenia spectrum. Recognizing these synonyms and their linkage to the official ICD-10 code is crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and billing in mental health care.
