F01-F99 Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders

This category includes certain disorders of behaviour that are not classifiable under other categories.

The patient reports that the behaviour is associated with impulses to action. The cause of these disorders is not understood and they are grouped together because of broad descriptive similarities, not because they are known to share any other important features.
