Personality disorder not otherwise specified (also known as Personality disorder NOS or PDNOS) is a DSM-IV Axis II personality disorder.[1] In the DSM-5 it is called "unspecified personality disorder".
Diagnostic criteria (DSM-IV-TR = 301.9)
This diagnosis may be given when no other personality disorder defined in the DSM fits the patient's symptoms.[2]
Four personality disorders were excluded from the main body of the latest version of the DSM (DSM-IV-TR) but this diagnosis may be used instead. The four personality disorders are:
- Sadistic personality disorder
- Self-defeating personality disorder
- Depressive personality disorder
- Passive–aggressive personality disorder
It is a requirement of DSM-IV that a diagnosis of any personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria.
Diagnostic criteria (ICD-10)
The World Health Organization's ICD-10 defines a conceptually similar disorder to "personality disorder not otherwise specified" called (F60.9) Personality disorder, unspecified.
It is a requirement of ICD-10 that a diagnosis of any personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria.
Prevalence (epidemiology)
