[edit]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.
[edit]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.
[edit]Prevalence (epidemiology)
This section requires expansion.
In one study, PDNOS was found to be the third most frequent personality disorder diagnosis.[3]
