Cannabis dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F12.222 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
Cannabis dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance refers to a condition where an individual exhibits a compulsive pattern of cannabis use, leading to significant impairment or distress. This diagnosis is characterized by the presence of perceptual disturbances, such as altered sensory perceptions, hallucinations, or distortions in reality, occurring during or shortly after cannabis use. Patients may experience heightened sensory experiences, such as intensified colors or sounds, or may have difficulty distinguishing between reality and hallucinations. The dependence aspect indicates that the individual has developed a tolerance to cannabis, requiring increased amounts to achieve the desired effects, and may experience withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance. This condition can significantly impact social, occupational, and personal functioning, necessitating comprehensive treatment approaches that may include behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups to address both the dependence and the perceptual disturbances associated with intoxication.
