Consistent with [Personality Change Due to Another Medical Condition] [specifier(s)]. Following the onset of a recognised medical condition, there has been a persistent alteration in personality characterised by affective lability; irritability; apathy; disinhibition; suspiciousness; aggression; impulsivity; diminished empathy; social withdrawal; dependency; obsessionality, forming a pattern representing a marked change from previous personality functioning. The presentation is further characterised by a stable and enduring shift in emotional regulation, interpersonal behaviour, and impulse control temporally associated with the medical condition. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant impairment in interpersonal, occupational, or adaptive functioning, and the disturbance is directly attributable to the physiological effects of the medical condition rather than another mental disorder, substance use, or delirium.
