Sedatv/hyp/anxiolytc abuse w psychotic disorder, unsp

This code signifies a pattern of problematic use of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically complicated by an unspecified psychotic disorder induced by these substances. The individual experiences symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations directly attributable to the drug's effects.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates both abuse of sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics and the presence of a psychotic disorder directly caused by the substance use. This applies when the specific type of psychotic disorder (e.g., with delusions, with hallucinations) is not specified. Supporting documentation includes psychiatric evaluations, toxicology reports, and detailed clinical notes describing the substance use pattern and the psychotic symptoms.

• Requires clear documentation linking the psychotic symptoms directly to the sedative/hypnotic/anxiolytic abuse.
• Distinguish from F13.150 (with withdrawal) or F13.151 (with delusions) if more specific information is available.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis if it is the main reason for the encounter, followed by any associated physical conditions.
