ICD-10 Code F15.25 – Other stimulant dependence with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.25 – Other stimulant dependence with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder
What it is
This code describes dependence on a stimulant other than cocaine, along with psychotic symptoms caused by that stimulant use. It indicates both the substance use disorder and the substance-induced mental disturbance.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized thinking, and evidence of stimulant dependence, such as compulsive use or inability to stop.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states dependence on another stimulant and a psychotic disorder attributed to that stimulant. You should code it when the clinician links hallucinations, delusions, or similar psychotic symptoms directly to stimulant use. Check documentation if the substance relationship is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant use without dependence, or for psychosis not documented as stimulant-induced. If the substance is cocaine or another diagnosis is specified, select the more accurate code.
Coding tip
Verify that both dependence and stimulant-induced psychosis are documented before assigning F15.25.
