The ICD-10-CM code F32.1 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like moderate depression, moderate major depression, moderate major depression, single episode or moderate major depressive disorder co-occurrent with anxiety single episode.
The specific depressive disorders follow below. Specific Depressive Disorders and Related DSM-5 Diagnostic Codes ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM coeds repectively: 296.99 (F34.8) Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

In North America the DSM-5 is more widely used whereas internationally, the ICD 10 for depression is more common. (More on those below.) Although the ICD-10 depression symptoms are similar to the DSM-5 depression symptoms, there are important differences, which are discussed below.
Several codes can be used for reporting acute depression, including 296.2, “Major depressive disorder, single episode,” and 296.3, “Major depressive disorder, recurrent episode.” (Note that both of these codes require a fifth digit.)

Code F33. 0 is the diagnosis code used for Major depressive disorder, recurrent, mild. This falls under the category of mood [affective] disorders.

Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
Other recurrent depressive disorders 1 F33.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM F33.8 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of F33.8 - other international versions of ICD-10 F33.8 may differ.

A clear example is the ICD-10 code F32.2 that will be used to specify any major depressive disorder that is a single episode without any psychotic features. F33.0 on its part will be used to specify a major depressive disorder being recurrent and mild with F33.41 being used to designate major depressive disorder that is recurrent with partial remission.

It is always good to seek medical attention as early as possible to stand a better chance of arresting the condition Coders will also be required to have a comprehensive understanding of the various disorders associated with Depression to extract proper information for billing and coding .
The condition is common in relatives with bipolar parents. Dysthymia on its part is a chronic depression of moods that lasts for years. This condition is not severe with its episodes not being prolonged to justify diagnosis of either mild moderate or severe.
