X64: Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to other and unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances

The group of conditions encapsulated under intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to other and unspecified drugs, medicaments, and biological substances refers to situations where an individual deliberately consumes or exposes themselves to harmful drugs or biological substances for the purpose of self-harm. This could involve prescription or over-the-counter medications, drugs of abuse, or other biological materials. Some commonly encountered symptoms of this condition include drowsiness or unresponsiveness, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, heart palpitations, and in severe cases, it may lead to life-threatening effects such as seizure, difficulty in breathing, or loss of consciousness. Depending on the substance involved and the amount consumed, these conditions can affect various body systems including the nervous system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, or respiratory system. Sequelae can also vary, with some cases being able to be effectively treated and reversed, while others leading to long-term health consequences or even result in mortality. It's important to note that these conditions often have a significant psychological component, with many affected individuals suffering from underlying mental health issues.
