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,
disorganization in the form of thought, experiences of influence, passivity and control)
are accompanied by typical symptoms of a depressive episode (e.g. depressed mood,
loss of interest, reduced energy), a manic episode (e.g., elevated mood, increase
in the quality and speed of physical and mental activity) 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 health 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).;
