Oth mental disorders complicating pregnancy, first trimester

This code signifies the presence of a pre-existing or newly diagnosed mental disorder, other than depression, that is adversely affecting a patient's pregnancy during the first trimester. It indicates that the mental health condition is complicating the pregnancy, requiring clinical attention and management.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in her first trimester has a documented mental disorder (e.g., anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia) that is noted by the provider as complicating the pregnancy. Documentation should clearly link the mental health condition to the pregnancy's management or outcome.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific mental disorder.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the mental disorder is complicating the pregnancy and specifies the trimester.
• Do not use for postpartum mental disorders or for mental disorders not explicitly documented as complicating the pregnancy.
