Cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F12.922 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
F12.922 refers to a condition characterized by the use of cannabis, where the specific type of use is not detailed, and the individual is experiencing intoxication accompanied by perceptual disturbances. This can manifest as altered sensory perception, such as visual or auditory hallucinations, distortions in time perception, and changes in mood or cognition. Cannabis intoxication can lead to significant impairment in social and occupational functioning, and the perceptual disturbances may exacerbate anxiety or paranoia in some individuals. Clinicians must assess the severity of the intoxication and any co-occurring mental health issues, as these can complicate treatment and recovery. Treatment may involve supportive care, counseling, and in some cases, medication to manage symptoms. Understanding the nuances of cannabis use and its effects is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
