F18.4: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents withdrawal state with delirium
You have consumed volatile solvents. Volatile solvents are substances that evaporate easily. These solvents are found in things like glues and lacquers. Solvents can be inhaled or sniffed, for example.
Before a solvent withdrawal the person has usually consumed too many solvents over a long period of time. When someone goes through withdrawal, they have various physical symptoms, because they are consuming fewer or no solvents.
The withdrawal also alters your state of consciousness. For example, your awareness and memory may alter. One may also no longer know who or where one is.
