Readers should note that code numbers for a disorder may appear in two places. For most disorders the number will appear right next to the name of the disorder. However, for some disorders, the coding tries to capture important subtypes and specifiers. In these instances the code numbers will be listed within the criteria itself, as in the following example.

314.01 Combined presentation F90.2
