For the most part, neuropsychiatric conditions rarely lead to death. However, many deaths are caused by the use of psychoactive substances, namely drugs or alcohol. Deaths from drug/alcohol dependence are currently included in this category. Starting in 2006, following an ICD-10 update, acute drug and/or alcohol intoxication is classified as an unintentional poisoning. This change in classification may lead to odd trends in death rates.
