Dysfunctional changes in physiological functioning, psychological
functioning, mood state, cognitive process, or all of these, as a
consequence of consumption of a psychoactive substance; usually disruptive, and
often stemming from central nervous system impairment.*
|
A. The development of a reversible substance-specific syndrome due to recent ingestion of (or exposure to) a substance.
Note: Different substances may produce similar or identical syndromes.
B. Clinically significant maladaptive behavioral or psychological changes that are due to the effect of the substance on the central nervous system (e.g., belligerence, mood
lability, cognitive impairment, impaired judgment, impaired social or occupational functioning) and develop during or shortly after use of the substance.
C. The symptoms are not due to a general medical condition and are not better accounted for by another mental disorder.
