Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Intoxication: reversible substance-specific syndrome due to recent ingestion; Withdrawal: substance-specific syndrome due to cessation/reduction after heavy/prolonged use
Core criterion B
Intoxication: clinically significant maladaptive behavioural/psychological changes attributable to substance CNS effects; Withdrawal: causes clinically significant distress or impairment
Core criterion C
Not attributable to another medical condition; not better explained by another mental disorder
Consistent with [Substance] Intoxication [specifier(s)]. Following recent ingestion or exposure to the substance, there have been clinically significant problematic behavioural or psychological changes. This has been accompanied by reversible substance-specific signs and symptoms, including [insert substance-specific physiological or cognitive symptoms; semicolon-separated], developing during or shortly after use, forming a pattern consistent with acute intoxication effects of the substance. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment, and the disturbance is not better explained by another medical condition, substance, or primary psychiatric disorder. For withdrawal: following cessation or marked reduction in heavy and prolonged use, there have been emergent physiological and psychological symptoms, including [insert substance-specific withdrawal symptoms; semicolon-separated], forming a pattern consistent with withdrawal from this substance, developing within the expected withdrawal timeframe.
