Poisoning by oth antipsychot/neurolept, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health issue or complication arising from an intentional self-poisoning event involving antipsychotic or neuroleptic medications. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, but the patient continues to experience residual effects directly attributable to that specific act of self-harm. These sequelae could range from organ damage to neurological deficits or persistent psychological impacts.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct, lasting consequence of a past intentional self-poisoning by other antipsychotics or neuroleptics. This applies when the original acute poisoning event is no longer active, but its effects persist and require ongoing medical attention or management. It is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing these chronic complications.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., specific organ damage, neurological deficit).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm poisoning by antipsychotics/neuroleptics.
• Do not use this code for the acute poisoning event itself; it is exclusively for the residual effects.
