Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified
ICD-10 F14.159 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified.
F14.159 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of cocaine leading to a psychotic disorder that is not specified further. Cocaine abuse is a significant public health issue, often resulting in severe psychological and physical health consequences. The psychotic disorder may manifest as hallucinations, delusions, or severe agitation, which can complicate the clinical picture. Patients may present with symptoms such as paranoia, mood disturbances, and cognitive impairments. The diagnosis requires a thorough assessment to differentiate between primary psychotic disorders and those induced by substance use. Treatment typically involves a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and, in some cases, pharmacotherapy to manage withdrawal symptoms and co-occurring mental health issues. Understanding the nuances of this diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and accurate coding, as it impacts the management strategies employed by healthcare providers.
