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
Symptoms characteristic of a schizophrenia spectrum/other psychotic disorder causing clinically significant distress/impairment
Core criterion B
Does not meet full criteria for any specific disorder in this class
Core criterion C
Clinician specifies reason (Other Specified) or chooses not to specify (Unspecified)
Consistent with [Other Specified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder] [specifier(s)]. There have been delusions; hallucinations; disorganised thinking; grossly disorganised or catatonic behaviour; negative symptoms, occurring in a pattern clearly characteristic of a psychotic disorder but not fully meeting the structured requirements for a specific schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis due to atypical symptom configuration, insufficient symptom number, subthreshold duration, or context-specific features. The presentation is further characterised by psychotic symptoms that are persistent or recurrent, with partial overlap with schizophrenia spectrum phenomenology and a clinically coherent explanation that can be specified. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment, and the disturbance does not occur exclusively during delirium.
