Cannabis dependence with other cannabis-induced disorder
ICD-10 F12.28 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis dependence with other cannabis-induced disorder.
Cannabis dependence with other cannabis-induced disorder refers to a condition where an individual exhibits a pattern of cannabis use that leads to significant impairment or distress, characterized by a strong desire to consume cannabis, difficulties in controlling its use, and the development of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. This code is used when the dependence is accompanied by other cannabis-induced disorders, such as anxiety, mood disturbances, or psychotic symptoms. The clinical presentation may include withdrawal symptoms like irritability, insomnia, decreased appetite, and mood swings when cannabis use is reduced or stopped. Treatment often involves behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, with a focus on addressing both the dependence and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Understanding the interplay between cannabis use and other psychological conditions is crucial for effective management and recovery.
