Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with other psychoactive substance-induced disorders

Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with other psychoactive substance-induced disorders is a term used to describe the use of psychoactive substances that lead to the development of disorders. This category is used when the specific substance used is not known or cannot be specified. This can include the use of substances such as synthetic cannabinoids, bath salts, and other designer drugs.

The use of these psychoactive substances can lead to a range of disorders including psychosis, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. These disorders can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life and can even lead to hospitalization or death.

It is important for individuals who are struggling with substance use to seek professional help. Treatment for substance use disorders can involve a range of interventions including medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and support groups.
