Disorders of adult personality and behavior (F60-F69)

ICD-10 codes F60-F69 cover a range of disorders related to adult personality, behavior, impulse control, gender identity, paraphilias, and other sexual and psychological conditions. These codes help classify specific personality types, impulse-related disorders, gender and sexual identity issues, and other behavioral problems.

The F60 codes identify specific personality disorders like paranoid (also known as fanatic personality), schizoid (introverted or schizoid character), antisocial (dissocial character), borderline (emotionally unstable personality disorder), histrionic, obsessive-compulsive, avoidant (anxious personality), dependent, narcissistic, and various other specified or unspecified personality disorders. Codes F63 focus on impulse disorders, including pathological gambling (compulsive gambling), pyromania (firesetting), kleptomania, trichotillomania (habitual hair pulling), and intermittent explosive disorder. The F64 codes address gender identity disorders such as transsexualism (gender dysphoria) and dual role transvestism (cross-dressing). Paraphilias (F65) include fetishism, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pedophilia, sadomasochism, and related sexual behaviors. Other sexual and personality disorders are found under F66 and F68, with factitious disorders and unspecified conditions classified under F68.1, F68.8, and F69. Using these codes ensures precise classification for conditions such as compulsive behaviors, sexual identity issues, and complex personality traits, aiding appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
