Cannabis abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
ICD-10 F12.122 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance.
Cannabis abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance refers to a pattern of cannabis use that leads to clinically significant impairment or distress, characterized by the presence of perceptual disturbances during intoxication. This condition is marked by the consumption of cannabis, resulting in altered sensory perceptions, such as visual or auditory hallucinations, distortions in perception of time, and changes in mood or cognition. The diagnosis requires evidence of cannabis use leading to these perceptual disturbances, which can significantly affect an individual's ability to function in daily life. The DSM-5 outlines criteria for cannabis use disorder, including tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite negative consequences. Treatment often involves behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, focusing on reducing use and managing symptoms. Understanding the nuances of this diagnosis is crucial for accurate coding and appropriate treatment planning.
