Key Terms
3
• All of these phrases and terms will take on more meaning as we look at diagnosis codes and the CPT codes associated with this most interesting branch of medicine.
• Psychiatry• Psychology• Psychosis
Psychiatry - What is it?
4
• Psychiatry –• Branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis,
treatment, prevention and study of mental disorders. • Unlike other branches of medicine it may be difficult to
readily identify the cause of a mental disorder. • These disorders are not necessarily picked up on a
radiological exam or even during a diagnostic endoscopic procedure.
Psychology - What is it?
5
• Psychology –• Branch of science that deals with mental processes
whether the process is considered normal or abnormal and how that process affects behavior.
• Typically when a patient presents for therapy the time is spent in discussing ways to process information so that behaviors do not get out of hand.
Psychosis - What is it?
6
• Psychosis –• Often the term psychosis is also used when describing
patients with a mental disorder. • However, over time this term is now reserved for
patients with a disorder that is so severe that they experience personality disintegration and a loss of a sense of reality.
• This is often seen in severe cases of schizophrenia
• Most of the codes for conditions that would be related to mental disorders will be found in chapter 5 of ICD10.
• These are the F codes.
Chapter 5: Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01 – F99)
Diagnoses

ICD-9 vs. ICD-10
• The chapter that dealt with mental disorders in ICD-9 had only 30 three-character condition categories (290-319);
• Chapter 5 (F codes) of ICD-10 has 100 such categories.
Chapter 5• F01-F09 Mental disorders due to known physiological conditions
• F10-F19 Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use
• F20-F29 Schizophrenia, schizotypal, delusional, and other non-mood psychotic disorders

Chapter 5• F40-F48 Anxiety, dissociative, stress-related, somatoform and
other nonpsychotic mental disorders
• F50-F59 Behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors
• F60-F69 Disorders of adult personality and behavior
• F70-F79 Intellectual disabilities
Chapter 5
• F80-F89 Pervasive and specific developmental disorders• F90-F98 Behavioral and emotional disorders with onset
usually occurring in childhood and adolescence• F99 Unspecified mental disorder
Chapter 5 - Terminology"Psychotic" has been retained as a convenient descriptive term, particularly in F23, Acute and transient psychotic disorders. • Its use does not involve assumptions about psychodynamic mechanisms, but
simply indicates the presence of hallucinations, delusions, or a limited number of severe abnormalities of behavior, such as gross excitement and over activity, marked psychomotor retardation, and catatonic behavior.
Chapter 5 - Terminology
Disorder • The term "disorder" is used throughout the classification, so as to avoid even
greater problems inherent in the use of terms such as "disease" and "illness".• "Disorder" is not an exact term, but it is used here to imply the existence of a
clinically recognizable set of symptoms or behavior associated in most cases with distress and with interference with personal functions.
• Social deviance or conflict alone, without personal dysfunction, should not be included in mental disorder as defined here.
Chapter 5 - Terminology• The term "psychogenic" has not been used in the titles of categories, in view
of its different meanings in different languages and psychiatric traditions. • It still occurs occasionally in the text, and should be taken to indicate that the
diagnostician regards obvious life events or difficulties as playing an important role in the genesis of the disorder.
Chapter 5 - Terminology• The terms "impairment", "disability" and "handicap" are used according to the
recommendations of the system adopted by WHO.• Occasionally, where justified by clinical tradition, the terms are used in a
broader sense.

substance use
Chapter 5C. Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use
2) Psychoactive Substance Use, Abuse And Dependence When the provider documentation refers to use, abuse and dependence of the same substance (e.g. alcohol, opioid, cannabis, etc.), only one code should be assigned to identify the pattern of use based on the following hierarchy:
Chapter 5 - Guidelines
• If both use and abuse are documented, assign only the code for abuse
• If both abuse and dependence are documented, assign only the code for dependence
• If use, abuse and dependence are all documented, assign only the code for dependence
• If both use and dependence are documented, assign only the code for dependence.
Chapter 5 - Terminology
Use• 1. Take, hold, or deploy (something) as a means of
accomplishing a purpose or achieving a result; employ.• 2. describing an action or state of affairs that was done
repeatedly or existed for a period in the past…"this road used to be a dirt track"
Chapter 5 - Terminology
Abuse1. use (something) to bad effect or for a bad
purpose; misuse (verb)2. the improper use of something. (noun)
Chapter 5 - Terminology
DependenceThe state of relying on or being controlled by someone or something else. (noun)

Chapter 5F20-F29 Schizophrenia, schizotypal, delusional, and other non-
mood psychotic disorders
Schizophrenia
The block that covers schizophrenia, schizotypal states and delusional disorders (F20-F29) has been expanded by the introduction of new categories such as:
• undifferentiated schizophrenia• postschizophrenic depression• schizotypal disorder.
Schizophrenia• It is relevant to this discussion that, given a set of affective
symptoms, the addition of only mood-incongruent delusions is not sufficient to change the diagnosis to a schizoaffective category.
• At least one typically schizophrenic symptom must be present with the affective symptoms during the same episode of the disorder.
• DSM provides further guidance
Schizophrenia - TypeF20.0 Paranoid schizophrenia F20.1 Disorganized schizophrenia F20.2 Catatonic schizophrenia F20.3 Undifferentiated schizophrenia F20.5 Residual schizophrenia F20.81 Schizophreniform disorder F20.89 Other schizophrenia F20.9 Schizophrenia, unspecified

Chapter 5
• F30-F39 Mood [affective] disorders• Bipolar Disorder• Depression
• There have been some addition in this section for our 2017 updates.
• Documentation will need to keep up with the effort to have fewer unspecified codes.
Bipolar Disorder• Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a
brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.
• Symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe. They are different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through from time to time.
• Bipolar disorder symptoms can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives.
National Institute of Mental Health
Bipolar disorder
• Bipolar I Disorder—defined by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. Usually, depressive episodes occur as well, typically lasting at least 2 weeks.
• Bipolar II Disorder—defined by a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but no full-blown manic or mixed episodes.
Bipolar disorder• Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (BP-NOS)—
diagnosed when symptoms of the illness exist but do not meet diagnostic criteria for either bipolar I or II. However, the symptoms are clearly out of the person's normal range of behavior.
• Cyclothymic Disorder, or Cyclothymia—a mild form of bipolar disorder. People with cyclothymia have episodes of hypomania as well as mild depression for at least 2 years. However, the symptoms do not meet the diagnostic requirements for any other type of bipolar disorder.

Depression• Depressive illnesses are disorders of the brain. Brain-imaging
technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have shown that the brains of people who have depression look different than those of people without depression.
• The parts of the brain involved in mood, thinking, sleep, appetite, and behavior appear different. But these images do not reveal why the depression has occurred. They also cannot be used to diagnose depression.
Depression
• Major depression,—severe symptoms that interfere with your ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life. An episode can occur only once in a person’s lifetime, but more often, a person has several episodes.
Depression
• Persistent depressive disorder—depressed mood that lasts for at least 2 years. A person diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder may have episodes of major depression along with periods of less severe symptoms, but symptoms must last for 2 years.
Depression• Psychotic depression, which occurs when a person has severe
depression plus some form of psychosis, such as having disturbing false beliefs or a break with reality (delusions), or hearing or seeing upsetting things that others cannot hear or see (hallucinations).
• Postpartum depression, which is much more serious than the "baby blues" that many women experience after giving birth, when hormonal and physical changes and the new responsibility of caring for a newborn can be overwhelming. It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of women experience postpartum depression after giving birth.

Phobias• Phobias are emotional and physical reactions to feared objects or situations.
Symptoms of a phobia include the following:• Feelings of panic, dread, horror, or terror• Recognition that the fear goes beyond normal boundaries and the actual
threat of danger• Reactions that are automatic and uncontrollable, practically taking over the
person’s thoughts• Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, and an overwhelming desire
to flee the situation—all the physical reactions associated with extreme fear• Extreme measures taken to avoid the feared object or situation

AnxietyAnxiety disorders are the most common of emotional disorders and affect more than 25 million Americans. Many forms and symptoms may include:
• Overwhelming feelings of panic and fear• Uncontrollable obsessive thoughts• Painful, intrusive memories• Recurring nightmares• Physical symptoms such as feeling sick to your stomach, “butterflies” in your stomach, heart pounding, startling easily, and muscle tension
Panic attacks• The core symptom of panic disorder is the panic attack, an overwhelming
combination of physical and psychological distress. During an attack several of these symptoms occur in combination:
• Pounding heart or chest pain• Sweating, trembling, shaking• Shortness of breath, sensation of choking• Nausea or abdominal pain• Dizziness or lightheadedness• Feeling unreal or disconnected• Fear of losing control, “going crazy,” or dying• Numbness• Chills or hot flashes
• Because symptoms are so severe, many people with panic disorder believe they are having a heart attack or other life-threatening illness.

INTERIM HISTORY:Since her last appointment, her anxiety level has been higher under increased family stress. Several members of her in-law family are currently staying with them, and it has been a stress on everyone. Her mood has been "stressed." She has felt more irritable. She has been struggling with insomnia with the increased stress. Although feeling frustrated and stressed, she denies any worsening depression. She continues to function well at work and at home. Her attention and concentration have been fine. We discussed risks, benefits, and alternative medications for insomnia. We will start trazodone 25-100 mg nightly as needed for sleep.
