What's the ICD-10 Code for Social Anxiety Disorder?
Hello everyone,
I've been doing some research on Social Anxiety Disorder and came across the term 'ICD-10 code'. I'm aware that it is a coding system used for diagnosing medical conditions, but I'm unsure what the specific code is for Social Anxiety Disorder.
Has anyone here encountered this before? I think it would be helpful to know, especially when discussing the condition with healthcare professionals.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Best,
