ICD-10 Code F19.24 – Other psychoactive substance dependence with psychoactive substance-induced mood disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.24 – Other psychoactive substance dependence with psychoactive substance-induced mood disorder
What it is
This code identifies dependence on another psychoactive substance when the substance also causes a mood disorder. Use it when documentation links the mood disturbance directly to the substance use.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see depressive, manic, or mixed mood symptoms occurring in the setting of ongoing substance dependence, with the substance-induced relationship noted by the clinician.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states both dependence on a psychoactive substance and a mood disorder caused by that substance. It fits cases where the mood condition is not better explained as a primary psychiatric disorder. Confirm the specific substance and the causal wording in the chart.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the mood disorder is unrelated to substance use or if dependence is not documented. Check documentation when the record only shows intoxication, withdrawal, or a different substance-related mental disorder.
Coding tip
Code the substance-induced mood disorder only when the provider clearly links the mood symptoms to the substance.
