ICD Code F42

ICD code F42 is obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that an individual feels driven to perform.

1. Presence of obsessions (recurrent, persistent thoughts, urges, or images) that are intrusive and unwanted, causing marked anxiety or distress

2. The individual attempts to ignore, suppress, or neutralize the obsessions with some other thought or action (i.e., by performing a compulsion)

3. Presence of compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) that the individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rigid rules

4. The compulsions are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation, but these behaviors or mental acts are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent, or are clearly excessive

5. The obsessions or compulsions are time-consuming (e.g., take more than one hour per day) or cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning

6. The symptoms are not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition

7. The disturbance is not better explained by the symptoms of another mental disorder
