Cannabis abuse with other cannabis-induced disorder
ICD-10 F12.188 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 such as anxiety, mood disturbances, or psychotic symptoms. This diagnosis is characterized by a range of symptoms including increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite negative consequences. Patients may experience withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and decreased appetite when not using cannabis. The condition can lead to significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Treatment often involves behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, with a focus on addressing both the substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health issues. It is essential for healthcare providers to conduct thorough assessments to determine the extent of cannabis use and its impact on the patient's life, as well as to develop an appropriate treatment plan that may include pharmacotherapy for co-occurring disorders.
