Other personality and behavioral disorders due to known physiological condition
ICD-10 F07.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other personality and behavioral disorders due to known physiological condition.
F07.89 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, cognition, and behavior, often resulting from underlying medical issues such as neurological disorders, metabolic imbalances, or chronic illnesses. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as irritability, impulsivity, or emotional instability, which can significantly impact their daily functioning and interpersonal relationships. The diagnosis requires a thorough assessment to establish a clear link between the physiological condition and the behavioral changes. Common conditions associated with F07.89 include traumatic brain injury, dementia, and endocrine disorders. Clinicians must differentiate these disorders from primary psychiatric conditions to ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment.
