Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations
ICD-10 F13.151 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations.
F13.151 refers to a condition characterized by the abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, leading to a psychotic disorder that includes hallucinations. Patients with this diagnosis typically exhibit a pattern of excessive use of medications such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates, which can result in significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The psychotic disorder manifests as hallucinations, which can be auditory, visual, or tactile, and may occur during intoxication or withdrawal from these substances. The diagnosis requires careful assessment to differentiate between substance-induced symptoms and primary psychotic disorders. Treatment often involves a combination of detoxification, psychiatric intervention, and long-term rehabilitation strategies to address both the substance use disorder and the psychotic symptoms.
