Title: Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Mental Disorders (886P) 
Abstract: Sections 12.00 and 112.00, Mental Disorders, of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations describe those mental impairments that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or that cause marked and severe functional limitations for a child claiming SSI payments under title XVI. We are proposing to revise the criteria in these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.
