Cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder with hallucinations
ICD-10 F12.951 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder with hallucinations.
F12.951 refers to a condition characterized by the use of cannabis leading to a psychotic disorder that includes hallucinations. 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.
