Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with psychoactive substance-induced psychotic disorder
ICD-10 F19.95 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with psychoactive substance-induced psychotic disorder.
F19.95 refers to a condition characterized by the use of unspecified psychoactive substances that lead to a psychotic disorder. This includes symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking that arise during or shortly after the use of these substances. The diagnosis is made when the psychotic symptoms cannot be attributed to another mental disorder or medical condition. The individual may exhibit signs of substance use disorder, including cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite negative consequences. Treatment often involves a combination of detoxification, psychotherapy, and medication management to address both the substance use and the psychotic symptoms. Clinicians must carefully assess the patient's substance use history and current mental state to provide appropriate care and support for recovery.
