F60-F69: Disorders of adult personality and behaviour
Disorders of adult personality and behaviour, encompassing ICD-10 codes F60-F69, include a variety of conditions that affect a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These disorders typically emerge in adolescence or early adulthood and may persist throughout life. These conditions are thought to have various causes, including genetic factors and environmental influences during childhood, such as trauma. Symptoms can vary widely and may include difficulty relating to others, mood swings, impulsive or risky behavior, and inconsistent self-image. The course of these disorders can be stable or fluctuating, and severity may vary from mild to severe. The impact of these conditions can be felt in many areas of life, including relationships, work, and overall well-being. Medical professionals can provide a diagnosis based on a comprehensive review of a person’s symptoms, history, and functioning.
