Further to what I said before about POCD being total bullshit, besides it not being listed in the DSM-5-TR, and it flunking the basic criteria for classification in OCD in the DSM-5-TR, there is no ICD-10-CM code for POCD. The ICD-10-CM is used for coding, systematizing, and classifying diagnoses in a standardized way. It is how things are put into medical charts, how researchers collect data regarding incidence and prevalence for epidemiological purposes and public health, and how things are submitted to insurance for billing. The ICD-10-CM is the final word in American medicine on if a diagnosis is real and valid. If something isn't in the ICD-10-CM it is guaranteed to be complete bullshit. Everyone else in the world uses the ICD-11, the newer version of the ICD manual, and it functions the same way for them, so essentially the entire world relies on the ICD manual regarding whether a diagnosis is real and valid. The US will be implementing the ICD-11 by 2027.
Note that this is the 2025 revision of the ICD-10-CM which is the very latest edition. When a new revision comes out it supersedes all previous revisions.
You can go through the entire F42 section for every code dealing with OCD and you will not find a single one for POCD:
However, you will find the proper diagnostic codes under F65.4, which happens to be the diagnostic code used by the DSM-5 for Pedophilic Disorder:
Applicable To
Approximate Synonyms
- Paedophilia
- Pedophilia, same and opposite sex
- Pedophilic disorder
- Pedophilic disorder, sexually attracted to both males and females
Clinical Information
- A disorder characterized by recurrent sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children.
- A sexual disorder occurring in a person 16 years or older and that is recurrent with intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally age 13 or younger). (from apa, dsm-iv, 1994).
Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to F65.4:
- Deviation(in)
- sexualF65.9
- pederosis F65.4
- pedophilia F65.4
- Disorder (of) - see also Disease
- Pederosis F65.4
- Pedophilia F65.4
It doesn't get any more definitive than the ICD-10-CM. If it isn't listed in the ICD-10-CM it literally doesn't exist in the realm of medicine.
Also note that the diagnostic index for the ICD-10-CM has it classified as a "
Deviation, Sexual" as well as "Disorder (of) - see also Disease"
So, going by the ICD-10-CM diagnostic index, people that have pedophilia are
sexual deviants (which I think we can all agree on, its just nice to see it as part of the official diagnostic index that references pedophilia.).
Someone should make sure to tell "Ana" she is a sexual deviant, and link to the appropriate diagnostic code entry.
which is what happens when one LARPs as a psychiatrist online
I agree, that is what happens when people try to do that and don't understand a thing about what they are discussing. I'm glad you are capable of recognizing that despite your complete lack of insight.
