ICD-10 Code F60 – Specific Personality Disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F60 – Specific personality disorders
What it is
F60 identifies specific personality disorders, a group of enduring patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior that differ from cultural expectations and cause problems in daily functioning. Use it when the record names a specific personality disorder but gives no more precise subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, these disorders involve long-standing maladaptive traits, difficulty with relationships, and inflexible responses across many situations.
When to use this code
Use F60 when the clinician documents a specific personality disorder and the chart does not support a more exact ICD-10-CM subtype. It may also fit when the note confirms a personality disorder diagnosis without enough detail for further coding. Check documentation for the exact wording.
Do not use for
Do not use F60 for temporary mood changes, psychotic disorders, or personality change due to another medical condition. If the record identifies a distinct subtype, code that more specific diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Code only from documented diagnosis language; if the subtype is unclear, query the provider before assigning F60.
