Cannabis abuse with other cannabis-induced disorder
ICD-10 F12.18 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis abuse with other cannabis-induced disorder.
Cannabis abuse with other cannabis-induced disorder refers to a pattern of cannabis use that leads to clinically significant impairment or distress, accompanied by other cannabis-induced disorders. This may include conditions such as cannabis-induced anxiety disorder, cannabis-induced psychotic disorder, or cannabis-induced mood disorder. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite negative consequences. The diagnosis requires a thorough assessment of the patient's history, including the frequency and quantity of cannabis use, the presence of co-occurring mental health disorders, and the impact of cannabis on daily functioning. Treatment often involves a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, with a focus on addressing both the substance use and any co-occurring mental health issues. Clinicians must be vigilant in monitoring for withdrawal symptoms, which can include irritability, insomnia, and decreased appetite, as well as the potential for cannabis-induced disorders that may complicate the clinical picture.
