Preferred Label : Secondary psychotic syndrome, with delusions;
ICD-11 definition : A syndrome characterised by the presence of prominent delusions 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. Hallucinations are not a prominent aspect of the clinical
presentation. 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., an acute stress reaction 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 psychotic symptoms are sufficiently severe
to warrant specific clinical attention.;
