F42.2 – Mixed obsessional thoughts and acts

F42.2 is the ICD-10-CM code for "mixed obsessional thoughts and acts." It involves both persistent intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, such as repetitive checking or rituals.

Obsessive thinking can be your mind’s way of trying to control uncertainty or manage anxiety. These thoughts often feel repetitive and intrusive, and they are commonly associated with OCD, anxiety disorders, or periods of severe stress.

Intrusive thoughts are most commonly linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). They may also occur in conditions like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression.
