ICD-11 code : 6E62.0;
Preferred Label : Secondary mood syndrome, with depressive symptoms;
ICD-11 definition : A syndrome characterized by the presence of prominent depressive symptoms such as
persistently depressed mood, loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities,
or signs such as tearful and downtrodden appearance that is judged to be a direct
pathophysiological consequence of a health condition not classified under mental and
behavioural disorders based on evidence from the history, physical examination, or
laboratory findings. The symptoms are not accounted for by delirium or by another
mental and behavioural disorder, and are not a psychologically mediated response to
a severe medical condition (e.g., depressive symptoms in response to a life-threatening
diagnosis). This category should be used in addition to the diagnosis for the presumed
underlying disorder or disease when the mood symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant
specific clinical attention.;
