   According to the Commissioner's memorandum, a GAF score between 41 and 50 is associated with "serious symptoms (e.g., suicidal ideation, severe obsessional rituals, frequent shoplifting) or any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g., no friends, unable to keep a job)." (Mem. n. 3 (quoting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) 34 (4th Ed. 2000)).

3. Van Curan v. Colvin

   No. CIV 12-347-TUC-LAB (D. Ariz. Jul. 17, 2013)   Cited 1 times

   In May of 2010, Van Curan was evaluated again by Nancy Eldredge, Ph.D. (Tr. 638-652) Eldredge offered the following diagnoses: "296.32 - Major Depression, Recurrent, Moderate to Severe; 301.83 - Borderline Personality Disorder; 315.1 - Mathematics Disorder; 294.9 - Cognitive Disorder Primarily Affecting Visuospatial Skills, Visual-Motor Integration, and Perceptual Reasoning." (Tr. 652) Eldredge completed a Medical Source Assessment (Mental) in which she stated Van Curan has significant psychological limitations in a number of work related areas. (Tr. 653) Specifically, she opined that he would be unable to regularly "work in coordination with or proximity to others without being distracted by them," "complete a normal work day and work week without interruptions from psychological based symptoms," "accept instructions and respond appropriately to criticism from supervisors," or "get along with coworkers or peers without distracting them or exhibiting behavioral extremes." (Tr. 653-54) She concluded, "In my opinion, because of the complex overlay of emotional, cognitive, and physiological symptoms, Mr. Van Curan would [be] unlikely to be able to maintain employment."

4. Nunn v. Astrue

   No. 10-CV-1458-HZ (D. Or. Feb. 9, 2012)   Cited 3 times

   With respect to the reasons the ALJ did provide when finding Plaintiff's mental impairments not medically determinable, I conclude they are not sustainable. The record demonstrates Plaintiff had at least seventeen counseling sessions with Sheila Crandles, L.C.S.W. ("LCSW Crandles") between March 2005 and April 2006. R. at 230-257. Contrary to the ALJ's finding that LCSW Crandles did not "indicate a specific diagnosis," LCSW Crandles specifically diagnosed Plaintiff with "296.32." R. at 255, 261. "296.32" is equivalent to major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate. American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revision ("DSM-IV-TR"), pp. 371, 860.

5. Santiago-Rivera v. Hosp. Gen. Menonita de Aibonito

   CIV. NO.: 18-1084 (SCC) (D.P.R. Apr. 27, 2021)   Cited 2 times

   • Motion for summary judgment
   • Motion to dismiss

   Defendant HGMA states that the diagnostic code for: major depressive affective disorder, recurrent episode, moderate, at the time it received the medical certificate, was improperly listed as 296.32, when it should have been F.33.1. Docket No. 64 at ¶ 33; see also Docket No. 49-1 at ¶ 32. The meaning and appropriate interpretation of the diagnostic code 296.32 is in dispute. However, establishing such fact is not material to the controversy at hand.

7. Blanton v. Saul

   CASE NO. 3:18CV1761 (N.D. Ohio Aug. 8, 2019)

   Dr. Desai's notes include the specific diagnosis code, 296.32, of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ("DSM-5") and the official name of this diagnosis, including the term "moderate." A comparison of the meaning of this specific diagnosis and its terminology with the Social Security Administration's definitions of "moderate" and "marked" limitations would have been helpful in supporting the ALJ's conclusions. --------

8. Douglas Elliman LLC v. Silver

   2015 N.Y. Slip Op. 51556 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2015)

   The March 26, 2015 Affidavit of Dr. Seiden relates that Ms. Silver is diagnosed with "Major Depression...psychiatric code of 296.32" and that "...her mood is low and she is thinking slowly." The May 7, 2015 letter of Dr. Seiden is alarming in that it states that Ms. Silver's "...condition continues to worsen each week...all the complications from her case is seriously destroying her mental health." The Doctor further informs the reader that Ms. Silver is suffering a "diminished ability to think or concentrate nearly every day." The transcripts of the October 15, 2014, and April 1, 2015, attempted depositions are also disturbing by the manner in which Ms. Silver appeared to alternately demand and refuse the assistance of counsel. A fair reading of the transcript moves us to characterize Ms. Silver's behavior as being disruptive and irrational.
