Deferred Diagnoses: A code of 799.9 on either Axis I or Axis II according to DSM-IV criteria means that the diagnosis is deferred. A deferred diagnosis generally means that there isn't enough information to make a definitive diagnosis. This article in the Journal of Epidemiology about the 799.9 "diagnosis" can help clarify it for you. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2760657
