Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by a pervasive psychological dependence on others. Individuals with DPD exhibit an excessive need to be taken care of, fear of separation, and an inability to make decisions without reassurance or support from others. They often lack self-confidence and feel helpless when alone.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for Dependent Personality Disorder is F60.7. This code falls under the section of "Personality and behavioral disorders" (F60-F69) in the ICD-10 classification system. The code F60.7 specifically identifies the diagnosis of Dependent Personality Disorder.
In the previous edition, the ICD-9 code for Dependent Personality Disorder was 301.6. The ICD-9 classification system was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10 and has been replaced to allow for more detailed and specific diagnostic coding.
It is worth noting that the ICD codes are used by medical professionals and researchers to classify and categorize various health conditions, including mental disorders. These codes enable consistent communication and documentation of diagnoses, aiding in research, treatment planning, and insurance reimbursement.
Please consult a licensed healthcare professional or mental health specialist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of Dependent Personality Disorder.
