ICD-11 code : 6A21;
Preferred Label : Schizoaffective disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Schizoaffective disorder is an episodic disorder in which the diagnostic requirements
of schizophrenia and a manic, mixed, or moderate or severe depressive episode are
met within the same episode of illness, either simultaneously or within a few days
of each other. Prominent symptoms of schizophrenia (e.g. delusions, hallucinations,
disorganisation in the form of thought, experiences of influence, passivity and control)
are accompanied by typical symptoms of a moderate or severe depressive episode (e.g.
depressed mood, loss of interest, reduced energy), a manic episode (e.g. an extreme
mood state characterised by euphoria, irritability, or expansiveness; increased activity
or a subjective experience of increased energy) or a mixed episode. Psychomotor disturbances,
including catatonia, may be present. Symptoms must have persisted for at least one
month. The symptoms are not a manifestation of another medical condition (e.g. a brain
tumor) and are not due to the effect of a substance or medication on the central nervous
system (e.g. corticosteroids), including withdrawal (e.g. alcohol withdrawal).;
