Other stimulant use, unspecified with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions
ICD-10 F15.950 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other stimulant use, unspecified with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions.
F15.950 refers to a condition characterized by the use of unspecified stimulants leading to a psychotic disorder, specifically manifesting as delusions. Stimulants, which include substances like amphetamines and cocaine, can induce significant alterations in mood, perception, and cognition. When an individual uses these substances, they may experience heightened energy, euphoria, and increased alertness. However, excessive or prolonged use can lead to adverse effects, including psychosis. In this case, the individual exhibits delusions, which are false beliefs that are firmly held despite contradictory evidence. This condition requires careful assessment and management, as it poses risks not only to the individual’s mental health but also to their physical safety and social functioning. Treatment typically involves a combination of psychiatric intervention, substance use disorder treatment, and supportive care to address both the psychotic symptoms and the underlying stimulant use disorder.
Detailed psychiatric evaluations, including mental status exams and history of substance use.
Patients presenting with acute psychosis following stimulant use.

Patients in withdrawal or experiencing cravings alongside psychotic symptoms.
Documenting the treatment plan for both addiction and mental health issues.
Used for follow-up visits for patients with stimulant-induced psychosis.

F15.950 specifically includes stimulant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions, while F15.920 refers to stimulant use disorder with intoxication without specifying the presence of psychosis.
