Differential Diagnosis of Delirium and Major or Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (DDDAMC)
In the differential diagnosis of depressive disorder due to another medical condition, this diagnosis cannot be made if depressive symptoms occur exclusively during an episode of delirium. However, it can be diagnosed concurrently with a major or mild neurocognitive disorder if both the depression and the neurocognitive disorder share an underlying medical etiology, and the medical condition accounts for the depressive symptoms.
