Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Substantial cognitive decline in ≥1 domain (complex attention, executive function, learning/memory, language, perceptual-motor, social cognition) based on concern + objective evidence
Core criterion B
Deficits interfere with independence in everyday activities (require assistance with complex IADLs)
Core criterion C
Deficits not occurring exclusively during delirium
Core criterion D
Not better explained by another mental disorder
Consistent with [Major Neurocognitive Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Over a period of gradual or stepwise decline, there has been evidence of significant cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains including complex attention; executive function; learning and memory; language; perceptual-motor function; social cognition, documented by concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician, and substantial impairment on objective cognitive assessment or clinical evaluation. The presentation is further characterised by cognitive deficits that interfere with independence in everyday activities, such that assistance is required for complex instrumental or basic activities of daily living. These symptoms have resulted in marked impairment in occupational, social, or adaptive functioning, and the cognitive deficits do not occur exclusively in the context of delirium.
