Definition
In ICD-11, trance disorder (6B62) and possession trance disorder (6B63) are two distinct diagnoses — not a with/without specifier: 6B62 is a dissociative trance without a replacing identity, and 6B63 is a trance in which identity is replaced by an external identity, spirit, or power. Record the appropriate diagnosis rather than a possession qualifier.
