What is one of the conditions that can be classified under Major and Minor Neurocognitive Specifiers?

The classification under Major and Minor Neurocognitive Specifiers pertains to conditions that result in significant cognitive impairment, affecting areas such as memory, reasoning, and social functioning. Vascular neurocognitive disorder is directly related to issues with blood flow to the brain, often due to strokes or other vascular conditions, leading to cognitive decline. This condition is recognized specifically within the neurocognitive disorder category as it clearly meets the diagnostic criteria for cognitive impairments that classify under the Major or Minor neurocognitive disorders category.

In contrast, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder are primarily categorized as mental health disorders rather than neurocognitive disorders. These conditions focus mainly on anxiety and behavioral patterns rather than direct cognitive decline that affects neurology in a way recognized under the neurocognitive specifiers. Therefore, the inclusion of vascular neurocognitive disorder as part of the neurocognitive disorder category is what makes it the correct choice.
