Hallucinogen abuse w psychotic disorder w delusions

This code signifies a pattern of problematic hallucinogen use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically complicated by a psychotic disorder characterized by delusions that are directly induced by the hallucinogen. The individual experiences persistent false beliefs despite evidence to the contrary, which are a direct consequence of their hallucinogen abuse.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates both hallucinogen abuse and a co-occurring hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder where delusions are the prominent psychotic symptom. This applies when a causal link between the hallucinogen use and the onset of the delusions is established by the clinician.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to accurately reflect the severity.
• Verify that delusions are explicitly mentioned as the primary psychotic feature, distinguishing it from other hallucinogen-induced psychotic symptoms like hallucinations.
• Confirm that the psychotic disorder is documented as "hallucinogen-induced" to differentiate it from primary psychotic disorders.
