Detailed explanation-1: -Diagnosis of specific phobias is based on a thorough clinical interview and diagnostic guidelines. Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and take a medical, psychiatric and social history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Talking treatments, such as counselling, are often very effective at treating phobias. In particular, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been found to be very effective for treating phobias.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reporting Same Diagnosis Code More Than Once: Each unique ICD-10-CM diagnosis code may be reported only once per encounter. This also applies to bilateral conditions when there are no distinct codes identifying laterally or two different conditions classified to the same ICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
