related disorder means a disorder of mental health that meets the following diagnostic criteria (derived from DSM-5):
         1. A prominent and persistent disturbance in mood that predominates in the clinical picture and is characterised by elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, with or without depressed mood or markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities.
          2. There is evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings of both (i) and (ii):
            (i)            the symptoms in Criterion A developed during or soon after substance intoxication or withdrawal or after exposure to a medication; and
            (ii)         the involved substance/medication is capable of producing the symptoms in Criterion A.
         C.            The disturbance is not better explained by a bipolar or related disorder that is not substance/medication-induced.  Such evidence of an independent bipolar or related disorder could include the following:
            (i)            the symptoms precede the onset of the substance/medication use, the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time (for example, about one month) after the cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication, or there is other evidence suggesting the existence of an independent non-substance/medication-induced bipolar and related disorder (for example, a history of recurrent non-substance/medication-related episodes).
         D.           The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium.
         E.            The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.
         Note: DSM-5 is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                  terminal event means the proximate or ultimate cause of death and includes the following:
         (a)           pneumonia;
         (b)           respiratory failure;
         (c)           cardiac arrest;
         (d)           circulatory failure; or
         (e)           cessation of brain function.
                                  VEA means the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986.
