T36-T50: Poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances
T43: Poisoning by psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified
Poisoning by psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified, encompasses a group of conditions stemming from the unintended adverse effects of certain medications used for mental disorders. These conditions can occur due to accidentally taking large amounts of these medicines or because of an individual's unique hypersensitivity to regular doses. Symptoms of poisoning include deleterious changes in mood, consciousness, and physiological functions like heart rate or breathing. Moreover, symptoms can significantly vary from one person to another due to factors such as the type of drug involved, amount consumed, and the individual's overall health status. Typically, these conditions affect the nervous system, but they can also impact bodily systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. The progression of these conditions depends on the severity of poisoning, with some cases demanding immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening situations.
