F44.80: Ganser syndrome

You have answered questions inappropriately, without being able to do anything about it.

You then give the wrong answer to questions even though you actually know the right answer. You may also do things that, from the outside, seem to not make sense. Sometimes there may also be other problems. For example, there may be things that you no longer remember.

This type of condition may occur when a person is under extreme emotional stress, for example.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
