ICD-11 code : 6C40.71;
Preferred Label : Alcohol-induced anxiety disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Alcohol-induced anxiety disorder is characterized by anxiety symptoms (e.g., apprehension
or worry, fear, physiological symptoms of excessive autonomic arousal, avoidance 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 anxiety symptoms
that are characteristic of Alcohol intoxication or Alcohol withdrawal. The amount
and duration of alcohol use must be capable of producing anxiety symptoms. The symptoms
are not better explained by a primary mental disorder (e.g., an Anxiety and Fear-Related
Disorder, a Depressive Disorder with prominent anxiety symptoms), as might be the
case if the anxiety 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 anxiety
symptoms (e.g., a history of prior episodes not associated with alcohol use).;
