ICD-11 code : 6E68;
Preferred Label : Secondary personality change;
ICD-11 definition : A syndrome characterized by a persistent personality disturbance that represents a
change from the individual's previous characteristic personality pattern that is judged
to be a direct pathophysiological consequence of a health condition not classified
under Mental and behavioural disorders, based on evidence from the history, physical
examination, or laboratory findings. The symptoms are not accounted for by delirium
or by another mental and behavioural disorder, and are not a psychologically mediated
response to a severe medical condition (e.g., social withdrawal, avoidance, or dependence
in response to a life-threatening diagnosis). This category should be used in addition
to the diagnosis for the presumed underlying disorder or disease when the personality
symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant specific clinical attention.;
