# What is the SNOMED CT concept for Conduct-Dissocial Disorder?

Canonical: https://pinnacleblooms.org/ask/what-is-the-snomed-ct-concept-for-conduct-dissocial-disorder
Publisher: Pinnacle Blooms Network / Bharath Healthcare Laboratories Private Limited

ICD-11 codes this condition as Conduct-dissocial disorder (6C91). SNOMED CT has no verbatim concept of that name; the nearest active concept is Conduct disorder (disorder), with socialised and unsocialised descendants. Confirm the current concept ID and ICD-11 map in your live terminology server, as identifiers are versioned.

*When two coding systems describe the same child, mapping matters — here's how Conduct-Dissocial Disorder sits across ICD-11 and SNOMED CT.*

## In short
**Conduct-Dissocial Disorder** is the ICD-11 term (code **6C91**) for a persistent, repetitive pattern of behaviour that violates age-appropriate social norms, rules or the basic rights of others. SNOMED CT does not carry a single concept labelled "Conduct-Dissocial Disorder" verbatim; the nearest active SNOMED CT International concept is **Conduct disorder (disorder)**, with related concepts such as **Socialised conduct disorder** and **Unsocialised conduct disorder**. Always confirm the current concept ID and any ICD-11–to–SNOMED CT map within your live terminology server, as identifiers and mappings are versioned and can change.

## The science, briefly
ICD-11 reorganised the former ICD-10 conduct-disorder family into **Conduct-dissocial disorder (6C91)**, distinguishing childhood-onset from adolescent-onset and qualifying the presence of limited prosocial emotions. SNOMED CT, by contrast, is a clinical reference terminology built for the electronic record — it represents *Conduct disorder* as a fully defined concept with descendants for socialised and unsocialised presentations. Because the two systems were designed for different purposes (classification versus point-of-care recording), there is no guaranteed one-to-one equivalence: a single ICD-11 entity may map to several SNOMED CT concepts, or via an approximate ("target broader/narrower") map. For interoperability work, retrieve the concept directly from the SNOMED CT International or India edition browser rather than hard-coding an identifier.

## When this matters clinically
- **EHR coding** — record the behavioural pattern with the SNOMED CT *Conduct disorder* concept, and reserve **6C91** for ICD-11 statistical or claims reporting.
- **Differential framing** — distinguish from oppositional defiant disorder (6C90) and from disorders better explained by an emerging neurodevelopmental or trauma profile.
- **Referral** — co-occurring developmental, communication or regulation difficulties in a child warrant a structured developmental assessment, not a behavioural label alone.

## The Pinnacle way
A clinical [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from a code lookup or an online form. Where conduct concerns coexist with developmental, communication or emotional-regulation needs, our [behavioural and developmental therapy](/services) pathways and [child development assessment](/) bring structure to what a parent or referrer first noticed.

## Trusted sources
WHO ICD-11 for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, entity 6C91 Conduct-dissocial disorder; WHO ICD-11–SNOMED CT mapping guidance. Verify the active SNOMED CT concept and identifier in your edition's terminology server.

This is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
