You should query the provider. If the provider is not a behavioral health specialist and is unsure of the severity, you can give them this document to help them decide: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ef_Guide.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2f-nnHySK3YeefhBQsdP8K

Would it be acceptable too choose unspecified F32.9 if the provider didn't say?
