Table : TABLE 9.1 • DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for Substance Intoxication
  • The development of a reversible substance-specific syndrome attributable to recent ingestion of (or exposure to) a substance that is not listed elsewhere or is unknown.
  • Clinically significant problematic behavioral or psychological changes that are attributable to the effect of the substance on the central nervous system (e.g., impaired motor coordination, psychomotor agitation or retardation, euphoria, anxiety, belligerence, mood lability, cognitive impairment, impaired judgment, social withdrawal) and develop during, or shortly after, use of the substance.
  • The signs or symptoms are not attributable to another medical condition and are not better explained by another mental disorder, including substance intoxication with another substance.
