ICD-11 code : 6C40.6;
Preferred Label : Alcohol-induced psychotic disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Alcohol-induced psychotic disorder is characterized by psychotic symptoms (e.g., delusions,
hallucinations, disorganized thinking, grossly disorganized behaviour) that develop
during or soon after intoxication with or withdrawal from alcohol. The intensity or
duration of the symptoms is substantially in excess of psychotic-like disturbances
of perception, cognition, or behaviour that are characteristic of Alcohol intoxication
or Alcohol withdrawal. The amount and duration of alcohol use 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 alcohol use, if the symptoms persist
for a substantial period of time after cessation of the alcohol use or withdrawal,
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 alcohol use).;
ICD-11 synonym : unspecified alcohol-induced mental disorders; alcohol-induced psychosis; alcoholic psychosis, NOS; alcoholism with psychosis;
