In the context of this ICD-10 code, the specific mood disorder isn’t determined yet, but all that we know is that the patient is going through a mood disorder that has mixed features caused by whatever physiological condition they currently have (e.g. cancer, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, etc.).

F06.34 clinical information

Considering the name of the ICD-10 code, the emphasis is not on the patient's physiological condition but rather on the underlying cause of their current mood disorder. Although the specific type of mood disorder is not specified, it is probable that it encompasses a combination of depressive and manic episodes.

• Given the presence of mixed features in this disorder, the individual is likely to exhibit the following symptoms:
• Experiencing restlessness or a sense of being on edge
• Having rapid and racing thoughts
• Speaking quickly and loudly
• Being active and desiring to be out and about
• Experiencing reduced need for sleep or insomnia
• Feeling a varying degree of inflated self-importance
• Demonstrating high levels of irritability
• Engaging in excessive or risky behaviors
• Feeling periods of sadness and despair
• Experiencing feelings of loneliness and occasionally isolating themselves
• Exhibiting low energy levels
• Experiencing either excessive sleep or hypersomnia
• Displaying abnormal eating patterns, such as eating too little or too much
• Experiencing a lack of interest in almost everything
• Having thoughts of self-harm
• Frequently shifting between different moods

The degree to which this specific mood disorder can improve relies on whether the underlying physiological condition responsible for it is treatable or curable.Medication (for both their physiological condition and mood disorder) and talk-based therapy may be implemented as part of a treatment plan for the mood disorder.
