Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified
ICD-10 F15.159 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified.
F15.159 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of stimulants that are not classified under more specific stimulant categories, leading to a stimulant-induced psychotic disorder. This disorder manifests as symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and severe agitation, which can occur during intoxication or withdrawal from the substance.
