drug-induced psychosis
Substance-triggered mental break
Drug-induced psychosis is a mental state involving hallucinations, delusions, or severely disordered thinking triggered by substance use.
It can occur during intoxication, withdrawal, or as a lasting effect of drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis, or hallucinogens: The ER saw three cases of drug-induced psychosis that night.
Unlike primary psychotic disorders, symptoms typically resolve once the substance clears the system, though heavy or prolonged use can cause longer-lasting episodes.
