F32.A — 抑郁症，未指定

Providers should use the diagnosis code F32.A when documenting or billing for a patient exhibiting symptoms of depression, unspecified without clear diagnostic criteria to classify severity. It's appropriate when providers identify a depressive disorder single episode without further clinical specification. Instructional guidelines for providers coding for F32.A should be followed to avoid common pitfalls in coding.

Common treatments include prescribed medication (e.g., antidepressants), psychotherapy, counseling, lifestyle modifications, and supportive interventions designed to alleviate mild issues such as sleep disturbance, low self-esteem, or hopelessness associated with unspecified depression.

Diagnosis code F32.A captures an unspecified depressive disorder, meaning the clinical presentation meets general criteria for depression but lacks sufficient detail or clarity regarding severity. It's typically applied when the patient experiences significant distress or impaired functioning from depressive symptoms without further specification.
