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