Excitative type psychosis

This code describes a severe mental disorder characterized by prominent psychomotor agitation, excitement, and often disorganized thought and behavior. Patients typically present with extreme restlessness, pressured speech, and an inability to maintain coherent thought processes, often accompanied by delusions or hallucinations. It represents an acute and intense psychotic state.

Use this code for patients exhibiting an acute onset of severe psychomotor excitement, agitation, and disorganized behavior indicative of a psychotic episode. Documentation should clearly describe the patient's agitated state, pressured speech, flight of ideas, and any associated psychotic features such as delusions or hallucinations. This diagnosis is often made in emergency or acute psychiatric settings.

• Differentiate from other psychotic disorders by the prominent feature of psychomotor excitement and agitation.
• Ensure documentation specifies "excitative type" or similar language indicating severe agitation as a primary feature of the psychosis.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis when it is the main reason for the encounter or admission.
