PDNOS meaning in General ?

Answer» What is Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified mean?

Personality disorder not otherwise specified is a diagnostic classification for some DSM-IV Axis II personality disorders not otherwise listed in DSM-IV.

The DSM-5 does not have an equivalent to Personality Disorder NOS. However Personality disorder-trait specified (PD-TS) remains under consideration for future revisions. The DSM 5 "Unspecified Disorder" is not a personality disorder, it is used to enhance specificity of an existing disorder or it is an emergency diagnosis unto itself (i.e. Unspecified Mental Disorder, 300.9), without being attached to another disorder.
