I'd code it as psychosomatic but I can see an argument for physical
illness too. I think this is one you just have to play a hunch. I
don't regard it as a cognitive disturbance though I see your line.
> 2 Intra-psychio problems
I'm sure that should be "intra-psychic problems" . Code as "other" and
curse the assessor!

Ditto! Could mean substance d. or interpersonal d. "Other/unknown"

I wouldn't code the cognitive on that

Stick with depression ACTA (ACTA=and curse the assessor!)
>
> 6 weight problem
I'd code under eating disorder though it's not great

I'd code as 7 -- specific, morbid J. is _VERY_ specific

> 8 organic + bereavement (4)
physical illness and bereavement (ACTA)

I think you're right if you're guessing the "PH" I'd code as other
ACTA!
Hope this helps. I should be just changing and dashing out. I've
got some responses to the other stuff but they need a bit more time
so they'll come through P.M.
