While major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified is the typical diagnosis when clinicians bill their services under F32.9, the code can also describe the following:

Depression, not otherwise specified (NOS)
Depressive disorder, NOS
Major depression, NOS

The front portion of this code, F32, describes a single episode of a major depressive disorder and the numeric portion from .1 to .99 includes behavioral, mental, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Clinical Description and Symptoms of Depression

Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of melancholy, sadness, or grief. People suffering from depression feel despair and loss of energy to the point it interferes with everyday functioning. The most common symptoms associated with depression include:

Feelings of moving in slow motion due to lack of energy
Feelings of worthlessness
Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed
Prolonged sadness
Significant weight gain or loss
Sleeping too much or too little

Depression ICD-10 Codes F32.0 to F32.9 – Differentiation

All F32 ICD-10 codes for depression replace the ICD-9 code of 311 for depressive disorder not elsewhere classified. The new coding breaks down the patient’s presentation and symptoms into the following categories:

F32.0: Major depressive disorder, single episode, mild
F32.1: Major depressive disorder, single episode, moderate
F32.2: Major depressive disorder, single episode, severe without psychotic features
F32.3: Major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features
F32.4: Major depressive disorder, single episode, in partial remission
F32.5: Major depressive disorder, single episode, in full remission

No codes exist from F32.6 to F32.8. As stated above, F32.9 describes major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified.
