ICD-10 Code F15.14 – Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced mood disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.14 – Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced mood disorder
What it is
This code identifies abuse of other stimulants, such as amphetamine-type substances, when the patient also has a mood disorder caused by the stimulant. Use it when the mood change is documented as substance-induced.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include depressed mood, elevated mood, irritability, or marked mood swings occurring with stimulant misuse and linked by the clinician to the substance.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states stimulant abuse and a stimulant-induced mood disorder in the same encounter. It fits cases where the clinician documents the mood disorder as caused by the stimulant rather than a primary psychiatric condition.
Apply it when the substance is an “other stimulant” and the mood disturbance is part of the diagnosis. If the note only says stimulant use or intoxication without abuse and mood disorder, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, uncomplicated stimulant use, or mood disorders unrelated to substance use. Do not use it when the documentation names a different substance or a primary mood disorder.
Coding tip
Confirm both the stimulant abuse and the substance-induced mood disorder are explicitly documented before assigning F15.14.
