F15.7: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of other stimulants, including caffeine Residual and late-onset psychotic disorder

Stimulants have caused you to have mental problems or your behavior has altered as a result of stimulants.

Stimulants are substances that have a stimulating effect on the body. Caffeine is one such substance, for example. Things like coffee contain caffeine. But amphetamines are also stimulants. They are found in some medicines or drugs. Amphetamines include, for example, crystal meth and MDMA. Ecstasy may contain MDMA.

When you consume stimulants, some symptoms can occur some time after ingestion. Your mood, behavior or personality alters after you have consumed stimulants some time ago.
