Documentation considerations

Documentation for the related code F07.0 often requires more context than a routine psychotherapy note, and notes can become unclear when mentioning personality change without enough clinical detail. 6

General clinical literature notes that personality disorder symptoms may overlap with acute psychiatric conditions, whereas the F07 terminology record identifies the code as a mental or behavioral dysfunction. 1 2
