Signs and Symptoms of Drug-Induced Psychosis

Drug-induced psychosis is a mental health condition that is caused by the use of certain drugs, such as stimulants, hallucinogens, and marijuana. It is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and extreme anxiety.

Hallucinations are one of the most common signs of drug-induced psychosis. They can involve seeing, hearing, feeling, or smelling things that are not really there. These hallucinations may be frightening and can cause the person to become confused and disoriented.

Delusions are also a common symptom of drug-induced psychosis. Delusions are false beliefs that the person holds onto despite evidence to the contrary. These delusions can range from believing that they have special powers to believing that they are being watched or followed.

Disorganized Thinking is another symptom of drug-induced psychosis. The person may be unable to think clearly or concentrate and may become easily distracted. They may also have difficulty understanding or following conversations and may experience a lack of motivation or energy.

Extreme Anxiety is a common symptom of drug-induced psychosis. People may become extremely anxious and may experience panic attacks and fear of being in public places or around other people. They may also become paranoid and may be suspicious of others.

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional. Drug-induced psychosis can be very serious and can have long-term effects on a person's mental health. Treatment options may include psychotherapy, medications, and lifestyle changes.
