Notes.
In assessing functional limitation and restriction for mental disorders account shall be taken
of psychological, social and occupational function.
Functional limitation and restriction is likely to be severe where symptoms or behaviours
include mania, delusions, hallucinations, severe depression with suicidal preoccupations or
abnormal rituals.
Mental disorders must be diagnosed by a relevant accredited medical specialist.
Any references to duration of effects are from date of injury or onset of illness.
