What This Code Means

A person dependent on hallucinogenic drugs is experiencing a mood disorder (such as depression or mania) that is caused by the hallucinogen use.

Coding Tips

•This code indicates the mood disorder is directly induced by hallucinogen use, not a pre-existing condition
•Document the specific type of mood disorder if possible (depressive, manic, or mixed features)

Clinical Significance

Hallucinogen dependence with induced mood disorder captures dual pathology — the dependence itself and a mood disturbance (depression, mania, or mixed) directly caused by hallucinogen use. This combination increases treatment complexity and signals the need for integrated psychiatric and addiction services.

Documentation Requirements

✓Documentation of hallucinogen dependence meeting clinical criteria
✓Specific mood disorder identified (depressive, manic, or mixed features)
✓Provider statement that the mood disorder is induced by the hallucinogen use
✓Temporal relationship between hallucinogen use and onset of mood symptoms
✓Differentiation from pre-existing mood disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder)

Commonly Confused Codes

F16.14 — Hallucinogen abuse with induced mood disorder; use when abuse rather than dependence is documented F16.94 — Hallucinogen use, unspecified with induced mood disorder; less specific regarding use pattern F32.9 — Major depressive disorder, unspecified; use for primary depression NOT induced by substance use F16.280 — Hallucinogen dependence with induced anxiety disorder; anxiety and mood disorders are coded separately
