ICD-10 Code F19.980 – Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with psychoactive substance-induced anxiety disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.980 – Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with psychoactive substance-induced anxiety disorder
What it is
This code identifies anxiety disorder caused by use of an unspecified psychoactive substance. Use it when the record links anxiety symptoms directly to substance use, but the substance type is not named.
Clinical signs
Documentation may show anxiety, nervousness, fear, panic, or restlessness that begins during or soon after substance use. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider diagnoses psychoactive substance-induced anxiety disorder and does not specify the substance involved. It is appropriate when the chart clearly connects the anxiety disorder to substance use rather than a primary anxiety condition. Check documentation if the record only says anxiety with substance use.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for primary anxiety disorders without substance causation. Also avoid it when the substance is identified and a more specific code is documented.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider explicitly states substance-induced anxiety and that the substance remains unspecified before assigning F19.980.
