What is definition of Substance-Induced Mental Disorders in Mental Health Conditions?
Substance-Induced Mental Disorders are a group of mental health conditions that are caused by the use or withdrawal of certain substances such as drugs or medications. These conditions are characterized by significant changes in cognition, mood, behavior, or perception that are directly attributable to the effects of the substance on the central nervous system. Substance-Induced Mental Disorders can include conditions such as substance-induced psychosis, substance-induced mood disorders, substance-induced anxiety disorders, or substance-induced sleep disorders. It is important to note that these disorders are distinct from independent mental health disorders and are solely caused by the substance use or withdrawal.
