Other psychoactive substance dependence with psychoactive substance-induced sexual dysfunction
ICD-10 F19.281 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other psychoactive substance dependence with psychoactive substance-induced sexual dysfunction.
F19.281 refers to a diagnosis of dependence on psychoactive substances that are not classified under other specific categories, accompanied by sexual dysfunction induced by the substance. This condition is characterized by a compulsive pattern of substance use, leading to significant impairment or distress. Patients may experience withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance, and the sexual dysfunction can manifest as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual performance issues. The diagnosis requires careful assessment of the patient's substance use history, the specific substances involved, and the impact on sexual health. Treatment often involves a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and possibly pharmacotherapy to address both the substance dependence and the sexual dysfunction. Clinicians must document the relationship between the substance use and the sexual dysfunction to support the diagnosis accurately.
