ICD-10 Code F60.8 – Other specific personality disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Other specific personality disorders is F60.8.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F60.8 – Other specific personality disorders

What it is

F60.8 identifies a personality disorder that fits a recognized pattern but does not match the other named personality disorder categories. Use it when documentation supports a specific personality disorder diagnosis and no more precise code applies.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Personality disorder diagnoses commonly involve enduring patterns of inner experience and behavior that differ from cultural expectations and cause functional impairment.

When to use this code

Use F60.8 when the clinician documents a specific personality disorder and the record does not support a more specific personality disorder code. It may also apply when the diagnosis is clearly stated as “other specific personality disorder.” Verify that the documentation is not describing a personality trait, acute reaction, or another mental disorder.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for unspecified personality disorder or for personality change due to another medical condition. If the note lacks a clear diagnosis, check documentation before assigning F60.8.

Coding tip

Code only when the provider documents a specific personality disorder diagnosis that cannot be classified elsewhere.
