Other personality and behavioral disorders due to known physiological condition
ICD-10 F07.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other personality and behavioral disorders due to known physiological condition.
F07.8 encompasses a range of personality and behavioral disorders that arise as a direct consequence of a known physiological condition. These disorders can manifest in various ways, including changes in mood, behavior, and personality traits. Common physiological conditions that may lead to these disorders include neurological diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease or traumatic brain injury), endocrine disorders (like Cushing's syndrome), and metabolic disturbances. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as irritability, impulsivity, emotional instability, and social withdrawal. The diagnosis requires a thorough assessment to differentiate these disorders from primary psychiatric conditions, ensuring that the underlying physiological cause is identified and addressed. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medical management of the physiological condition and psychological support to help the patient cope with personality changes. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement.
Detailed psychiatric evaluation notes, including history of present illness and any relevant medical history.
Patients with neurological disorders presenting with personality changes, such as after a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Psychiatrists must ensure that the physiological condition is clearly documented to support the diagnosis of F07.8.
Neurological assessments, imaging results, and detailed patient history.
Patients with dementia or other neurodegenerative diseases exhibiting behavioral changes.
Neurologists should collaborate with psychiatrists to provide a comprehensive view of the patient's condition.
Used when evaluating a patient with personality changes due to a physiological condition.
Comprehensive evaluation notes including history, mental status exam, and treatment plan.
Psychiatrists should ensure that the evaluation includes a thorough review of the patient's medical history.
F07.8 can be associated with a variety of physiological conditions, including neurological disorders (like dementia), endocrine disorders (such as Cushing's syndrome), and metabolic disorders that affect brain function.
To differentiate F07.8 from primary personality disorders, it is essential to establish a clear link between the behavioral changes and a known physiological condition, supported by thorough documentation.
