ICD-10 Code F10.14 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced mood disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.14 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced mood disorder
What it is
This code identifies alcohol abuse accompanied by a mood disorder caused by alcohol use. Use it when the record shows both problematic alcohol use and a mood disturbance linked to that use.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, you may see depressed mood, irritability, or mood instability occurring in the setting of alcohol misuse, with the clinician attributing the mood disorder to alcohol.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol abuse and specifies an alcohol-induced mood disorder. It fits encounters where the mood symptoms are considered secondary to alcohol use, not a separate primary psychiatric condition. Check documentation if the relationship is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for alcohol dependence, alcohol intoxication, or a mood disorder without documented alcohol causation. If the chart does not clearly link the mood disorder to alcohol, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider explicitly states both alcohol abuse and alcohol-induced mood disorder before assigning F10.14.
