Other Alcohol-Induced Disorders

The following Alcohol-Induced Disorders are described in the sections of the manual with disorders with which they share phenomenology: Alcohol Intoxication Delirium (p. 143), Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium (p. 143), Alcohol-Induced Persisting Dementia (p. 168), Alcohol-Induced Persisting Amnestic Disorder (p. 177), Alcohol-Induced Psychotic Disorder (p. 338), Alcohol-Induced Mood Disorder (p. 405), Alcohol-Induced Anxiety Disorder (p. 479), Alcohol-Induced Sexual Dysfunction (p. 562), and Alcohol-Induced Sleep Disorder (p. 655). These disorders are diagnosed instead of Alcohol Intoxication or Alcohol Withdrawal only when the symptoms are in excess of those usually associated with the Alcohol Intoxication or Withdrawal syndrome and when the symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant independent clinical attention.
