Other Sedative-, Hypnotic-, or Anxiolytic-Induced Disorders

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