Personality disorder not otherwise specified (PD-NOS) is a subclinical[a] diagnostic classification for some DSM-IV Axis II personality disorders not listed in DSM-IV.[1]
The DSM-5 does not have a direct equivalent to PD-NOS. However, the DSM-5 other specified personality disorder and unspecified personality disorder are substantially comparable to PD-NOS.[2]
Additionally, the DSM-5 introduced the diagnosis Personality disorder - trait specified (PD-TS) as an alternative to let clinicians define the presentation in detail in terms of "impairment of personality functioning" and "pathological personality traits".[3]
