Oth stimulant use, unsp with stimulant-induced mood disorder

This code signifies a diagnosis of a mood disorder directly caused by the use of a stimulant substance, where the specific stimulant is not documented. It indicates a causal link between stimulant use and the development of a mood disturbance, such as depression, mania, or mixed affective states.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's mood disorder to the use of a stimulant, but the specific stimulant (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine) is not identified. This code is appropriate when the clinician explicitly states "stimulant-induced mood disorder, unspecified stimulant."

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "unspecified stimulant" when linking the mood disorder to stimulant use.
• Do not use this code if the specific stimulant is known; instead, use the more specific F15.xx codes.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis if the stimulant-induced mood disorder is the reason for the encounter.
