Endocrine disorder arising from mental factors

This code signifies an endocrine system dysfunction that is primarily caused or exacerbated by psychological or emotional factors. It describes conditions where mental health issues manifest as physiological disturbances in hormone regulation, rather than originating from a primary organic endocrine pathology.

Use this code when documentation clearly links a diagnosed endocrine disorder (e.g., psychogenic polydipsia, stress-induced amenorrhea) to an underlying mental or emotional disturbance. This applies when the endocrine symptoms are a direct consequence of psychological stress, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.

• Always sequence the underlying mental health condition (e.g., anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder) as the primary diagnosis if it is the main reason for the encounter.
• Ensure physician documentation explicitly states the psychological origin or exacerbation of the endocrine disorder.
• Do not use this code for endocrine disorders with a clear organic cause, even if psychological factors are also present.
