Psychotic Screening B/C.44

B/C. PSYCHOTIC SCREENING MODULE
NOTE: This module is for coding psychotic and associated symptoms that have been present in the past year. It can be used for
settings in which cases with primary psychotic symptoms are to be excluded i.e., psychotic symptoms that are not due to
substance/medication use or to a general medical condition) and/or psychotic symptoms that occur outside the context of a Major
Depressive or Manic Episode.

For each psychotic symptom coded “3,” describe the actual content and indicate the period of time during which the symptom was
present. Moreover, for any psychotic symptom coded “3.” determine whether the symptom is definitely “primary” or whether there is
a possible or definite etiological substance (including medication) or general medical condition. Refer to page B/C.6 for a list of
possible etiological general medical conditions and substances/medications.
The following questions may be useful if the Overview has not already provided the information.
Just before (PSYCHOTIC SXS) began, were you using drugs? ...were you taking any medications? ...did you drink much
more than usual or stop drinking after you had been drinking a lot for a while? ...were you physically ill?

HALLUCINATIONS
A perception-like experience with the clarity and
impact of a true perception, but without the
external stimulation of the relevant sensory organ.
The person may or may not have insight into the
nonveridical nature of the hallucination (i.e., one
hallucinating person may recognize the false
sensory experience, whereas another may be
convinced that the experience is grounded in
reality).
NOTE: Code “2” for hallucinations that are so
transient as to be without diagnostic significance.
Code “1” for hypnagogic or hypnopompic
hallucinations.

you hear things that other
people couldn’t, such as noises, or the
voices of people whispering or talking?

Anxiety Disorders F

The fear, anxiety, or avoidance is not better
explained by the symptoms of another mental
disorder—for example, the symptoms are not
confined to Specific Phobia, situational type; do
not involve only social situations (as in Social
Anxiety Disorder); and are not related
exclusively to obsessions (as in ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder), perceived defects or flaws
in physical appearance (as in Body Dysmorphic
Disorder), reminders of traumatic events (as in
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder), or fear of
separation (as in Separation Anxiety Disorder).

conclusion that a general medical condition is
etiologic to the obsessive-compulsive and
related symptoms.
1) There is evidence from the literature of a
well-established association between the
general medical condition and the
obsessive-compulsive and related
symptoms. (Refer to list of etiological
general medical conditions on page G.4.)

3) The obsessive-compulsive and related

4) The absence of alternative explanations
(e.g., obsessive-compulsive and related

the stress of being diagnosed with a
