MENTAL DISORDER. As defined in the 32 CFR 199.2: For the purposes of the payment of benefits, a mental disorder is a nervous or mental condition that involves a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that is associated with a painful symptom, such as distress, and that impairs a patient’s ability to function in one or more major life activities. A Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a mental condition that involves a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress; impaired control over substance use; social impairment; and risky use of a substance(s). Additionally, the mental disorder must be one of those conditions listed in the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). “Conditions Not Attributable to a Mental Disorder,” or V codes (Z codes in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)), are not considered diagnosable mental disorders. Co-occurring mental and substance use disorders are common and assessment should proceed as soon as it is possible to distinguish the substance related symptoms from other independent conditions.

MENTAL DISORDER.

Morbid Obesity This means a body mass index that is: greater than 40 kilograms per meter squared; or equal to or greater than 35 kilograms per meter squared with a comorbid medical condition, including: hypertension; a cardiopulmonary condition; sleep apnea; or diabetes. Body mass index is a practical marker that is used to assess the degree of obesity and is calculated by dividing the weight in kilograms by the height in meters squared.
MENTAL DISORDER. A mental disorder is a behavioral or psychological syndrome that causes significant distress or disability, or a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, or an important loss of freedom. The syndrome is considered to be a manifestation of some behavioral, psychological, or biological dysfunction in the person. A mental disorder once assessed/identified by EAP, is referred for treatment under the medical plan benefits.
MENTAL DISORDER. Mental disorders comprise a broad range of problems, with different symptoms, which are generally characterised by some combination of abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationships with others (WHO, xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/topics/mental_disorders/en/index.html). A “mental disorder” is a clinically significant behavioural or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress or disability or with a significant increased risk of suffering, and which reflects a psychological or biological dysfunction in the individual. No definition adequately specifies precise boundaries for the concept of 'mental disorder', since different situations call for different definitions. There is no assumption that each category of mental disorder is a completely discrete entity with absolute boundaries dividing it from other mental disorders or from no mental disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1980, 1994, 2000).
