Hallucinogen dependence w anxiety disorder

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on hallucinogens, coupled with the co-occurrence of an anxiety disorder directly induced by hallucinogen use. The anxiety symptoms are not merely transient effects of intoxication but represent a distinct, clinically significant anxiety disorder.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of hallucinogen dependence and a separate, medically documented anxiety disorder that is directly attributable to the hallucinogen use. This typically requires a psychiatric evaluation confirming both the dependence and the substance-induced anxiety.

• Ensure documentation specifies "dependence" rather than "abuse" or "use" to accurately reflect the severity.
• Verify that the anxiety disorder is explicitly linked as "hallucinogen-induced" and not a pre-existing or co-occurring independent anxiety disorder.
• Consider sequencing this code with other relevant mental health or substance-related diagnoses as appropriate, following ICD-10-CM guidelines.
