Psychotic disorder induced by other specified psychoactive substance
Definition
Psychotic disorder induced by other specified psychoactive substance is characterised by psychotic symptoms (e.g., delusions, hallucinations, disorganised thinking, grossly disorganised behaviour) that develop during or soon after intoxication with or withdrawal from a specified psychoactive substance. The intensity or duration of the symptoms is substantially in excess of psychotic-like disturbances of perception, cognition, or behaviour that are characteristic of intoxication with or withdrawal from a specified psychoactive substance. The amount and duration of use of the specified psychoactive substance must be capable of producing psychotic symptoms. The symptoms are not better explained by a primary mental disorder (e.g., Schizophrenia, a Mood disorder with psychotic symptoms), as might be the case if the psychotic symptoms preceded the onset of the use of the specified psychoactive substance, if the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time after cessation of the use of the specified psychoactive substance or withdrawal from the specified psychoactive substance, or if there is other evidence of a pre-existing primary mental disorder with psychotic symptoms (e.g., a history of prior episodes not associated with the use of the specified psychoactive substance).
