Poisoning by lysergide [LSD], intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with lysergide (LSD). It indicates that the patient intentionally ingested or administered LSD to cause harm to themselves, and is now presenting with lasting complications attributable to that event. These sequelae can manifest physically or psychologically.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a past, intentional self-harm event involving LSD. This would include chronic psychiatric disorders, persistent neurological deficits, or other enduring health problems clearly linked to the previous poisoning. It is used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela (e.g., a chronic mental health condition).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past, intentional LSD poisoning.
• Distinguish from accidental poisoning or poisoning in the acute phase, which use different codes.
