A psychiatric diagnosis is based on a careful evaluation of the signs and symptoms and can include more than one disorder. It is best that you ask your psychiatrist to explain the diagnosis for it is based on his/her evaluation. Once explained your question will be answered. Good luck

Your diagnosis is schizophrenia, unspecified variant, F20.9 is for coding/billing purposes. Your psychiatrist or primary care doc may be able to further clarify based on current records.
