general medical condition
in DSM–IV–TR, a disorder that has known physical causes and observable psychopathology. Examples include hypertension and diabetes. The equivalent term in DSM–5 is another medical condition. Thus, for example, the DSM–5 diagnosis for a patient who experiences significant anxiety symptoms (e.g., panic attacks) as a consequence of having a neurological disorder (e.g., Parkinson’s disease) would be “anxiety disorder due to another medical condition.”
