Poisn by slctv serotonin reuptake inhibtr, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a deliberate overdose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It indicates that the poisoning was an act of intentional self-harm, and the patient is now presenting with residual effects after the acute phase of the poisoning has passed. These sequelae can range from neurological deficits to organ damage.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent health issues directly attributable to a past, intentional SSRI overdose. This includes follow-up visits for chronic conditions or complications that developed as a result of the self-harm attempt. Do not use for the initial acute poisoning event.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the exact nature of the sequela (e.g., specific organ damage, neurological impairment).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional SSRI poisoning.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for conditions that are residual effects of a past injury or disease.
