Cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder with delusions
ICD-10 F12.950 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder with delusions.
F12.950 refers to a condition characterized by the use of cannabis leading to a psychotic disorder, specifically with delusions. This diagnosis is often seen in individuals who consume cannabis in varying amounts and frequencies, leading to significant alterations in perception, thought processes, and behavior. The psychotic symptoms can manifest as delusions, which are false beliefs that are firmly held despite contradictory evidence. These delusions can significantly impair social and occupational functioning. The onset of symptoms may occur during or shortly after cannabis use, and the severity can vary based on individual susceptibility, the potency of the cannabis used, and the presence of other mental health disorders. Treatment typically involves a combination of psychiatric intervention, including antipsychotic medications, and substance use disorder therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Understanding the interplay between cannabis use and psychotic disorders is crucial for effective management and recovery.
