ICD-11 code : L1-6D7;
Preferred Label : Neurocognitive disorders;
ICD-11 definition : Neurocognitive disorders are characterized by primary clinical deficits in cognitive
functioning that are acquired rather than developmental. That is, neurocognitive disorders
do not include disorders characterized by deficits in cognitive function that are
present from birth or that arise during the developmental period, which are classified
in the grouping neurodevelopmental disorders. Rather, neurocognitive disorders represent
a decline from a previously attained level of functioning. Although cognitive deficits
are present in many mental disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorders), only
disorders whose core features are cognitive are included in the neurocognitive Disorders
grouping. In cases where the underlying pathology and etiology for neurocognitive
disorders can be determined, the identified etiology should be classified separately.;
