DSM+II+1968

26 MENTAL DISORDERS
mary paranoid states or schizophrenia should not be included here
even if they drink to excess.
291.4* Acute alcohol intoxication*
All varieties of acute brain syndromes of psychotic proportion caused
by alcohol are included here if they do not manifest features of delirium
tremens, alcoholic hallucinosis, or pathological intoxication.
This diagnosis is used alone when there is no other psychiatric disorder
or as an additional diagnosis with other psychiatric conditions
including alcoholism. The condition should not be confused with
simple drunkenness, which does not involve psychosis. (All patients
with this disorder would have been diagnosed "Acute Brain Syndrome,
alcohol intoxication" in DSM-I.)
291.5* Alcoholic deterioration*
All varieties of chronic brain syndromes of psychotic proportion
caused by alcohol and not having the characteristic features of Korsakov's
psychosis are included here. (This condition and Korsakov's
psychosis were both included under "Chronic Brain Syndrome, alcohol
intoxication with psychotic reaction" in DSM-I.)
291.6* Pathological intoxication*
This is an acute brain syndrome manifested by psychosis after minimal
alcohol intake. (In DSM-I this diagnosis fell under "Acute
Brain Syndrome, alcohol intoxication.")
291.9 Other [and unspecified] alcoholic psychosis
This term refers to all varieties of alcoholic psychosis not classified
above.
292 Psychosis associated with intracranial infection
292.0 General paralysis
This condition is characterized by physical signs and symptoms of
parenchymatous syphilis of the nervous system, and usually by positive
serology, including the paretic gold curve in the spinal fluid.
The condition may simulate any of the other psychoses and brain
syndromes. If the impairment is not of psychotic proportion it is
classified Non-psychotic OBS with intracranial infection. If the specific
underlying physical condition is known, indicate it with a sep
arate, additional diagnosis. (This category was included under
"Chronic Brain Syndrome associated with central nervous system
syphilis (meningoencephalitic)" in DSM-I.)
