...ributions of different psychoactive substances are inextricably mixed, should the diagnosis of disorders resulting from multiple drug use (F19.-) be used. | Modifiers The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F10-F19: Code Title .0 Acute intoxication A condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance resulting in disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, or other psycho-physiological functions and responses. The disturbances are directly related to the acute pharmacological effects of the substance and resolve with time, with complete recovery, except where tissue damage or other complications have arisen. Complications may include trauma, inhala ...[+++]tion of vomitus, delirium, coma, convulsions, and other medical complications. The nature of these complications depends on the pharmacological class of substance and mode of administration. Acute drunkenness in alcoholism Bad trips (drugs) Drunkenness NOS Pathological intoxication Trance and possession disorders in psychoactive substance intoxication Excl.: intoxication meaning poisoning (T36-T50) .1 Harmful use A pattern of psychoactive substance use that is causing damage to health. The damage may be physical (as in cases of hepatitis from the self-administration of injected psychoactive substances) or mental (e.g. episodes of depressive disorder secondary to heavy consumption of alcohol). Psychoactive substance abuse .2 Dependence syndrome A cluster of behavioural, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated substance use and that typically include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling its use, persisting in its use despite harmful consequences, a higher priority given to drug use than to other activities and obligations, increased tolerance, and sometimes a physical withdrawal state. The dependence syndrome may be present for a specific psychoactive substance (e.g. tobacco, alcohol, or diazepam), for a class of substances (e.g. opioid drugs), or for a wider range of pharmacologically different psychoactive substances. Chronic alcoholism Dipsomania Drug addiction .3 Withdrawal state A group of symptoms of variable clustering and severity occurring on absolute or relative withdrawal of a psychoactive substance after persistent use of that substance. The onset and course of the withdrawal state are time-limited and are related to the type of psychoactive substance and dose being used immediately before cessation or reduction of use. The withdrawal state may be complicated by convulsions. .4 Withdrawal state with delirium A condition where the withdrawal state as defined in the common fourth character .3 is complicated by delirium as defined in F05.-. Convulsions may also occur. When organic factors are also considered to play a role in the etiology, the condition should be classified to F05.8. Delirium tremens (alcohol-induced) .5 Psychotic disorder A cluster of psychotic phenomena that occur during or following psychoactive substance use but that are not explained on the basis of acute intoxication alone and do not form part of a withdrawal state. The disorder is characterized by hallucinations (typically auditory, but often in more than one sensory modality), perceptual distortions, delusions (often of a paranoid or persecutory nature), psychomotor disturbances (excitement or stupor), and an abnormal affect, which may range from intense fear to ecstasy. The sensorium is usually clear but some degree of ...

Definition: A syndrome of prominent impairment of recent and remote memory while immediate recall is preserved, with reduced ability to learn new material and disorientation in time. Confabulation may be a marked feature, but perception and other cognitive functions, including the intellect, are usually intact. The prognosis depends on the course of the underlying lesion. | Korsakov's psychosis or syndrome, nonalcoholic

The idea of cannabis dependence has been the subject of criticism due to its overly medical aspect (having little regard for the differences in social context of the ways and situations in which it is used) and circular reasoning (for example, the fact that drugs are illegal means that their use is necessarily illegal, yet this is one of the criteria for dependence).[76] Nevertheless, when measured in accordance with the criteria of the DSM, a cannabis dependence syndrome presents no differences from an alcohol or heroin dependence sy ...[+++]ndrome.

Kosten examined the validity of DSM-III R criteria to identify syndromes of dependence on various psychoactive substances including cannabis.

The existence of a cannabis dependence syndrome in humans can be inferred using various methods: epidemiological investigations and clinical studies (which usually use DSM criteria), and requests for treatment.

Much of it is brought on by the dependency syndrome that our social programs perpetuate — but we can talk about that later, which I am sure you will want to do.
